This paper reports on viewpoint changes in classroom observation in a university Japanese language teacher training course. University students watched online videos of beginner Japanese classes before and after their own mock lessons. Analysis of their observation records showed that their perspectives expanded from basic knowledge about teaching beginner Japanese classes and their experience of language learning to reflections on their own mock lessons. It was also shown that the contents of their observations qualitatively improved, changing from a superficial level to considerations of the reasons behind the observations.
