Abstract
This research focus on not traditional classroom and teachers, but one of online group for Japanese language learners and learning supporters, “The Nihongo Learning Community” on Facebook. Especially, we investigated recognition of learning supporters about collaboration with other supporters on the online group. The result of questionnaires shows that learning supporters have two different cognitions about collaboration. One is "discussing about how support Japanese language learners on the online community". And another is "considering about their educational or teaching cognition related with not only the online community also each supporters' educational cases out of the community".
