Abstract
This research shows Japanese language learners’ description of “positive reflection” in one university in Aichi prefecture. “Positive reflection” consists of 3 questions: your emotion, time and period, and reactions from others. For this research, the author analyzed 4 students’ “positive reflection” descriptions. The results revealed two patterns of description. First, some students described different experiences for each question. On the other hand, some students described different aspects of the same experience in some questions. These results and previous research suggest that "positive reflection" can promote "deep" reflection at an early stage.
