Abstract
An interview survey of the staff of a local international association which holds Japanese language classes was conducted to determine what training is necessary in a course for the volunteers who help with Japanese language study. As a result, in learning about the situation of the volunteers' use of Japanese language textbooks, it suggested that the course instructors need to provide basic knowledge about Japanese textbooks and consider the fact that volunteers have certain preferences in the textbooks they use. The instructors need to plan according to the actual situation and the volunteers' level of understanding.
