Abstract
Since there is a large difference between introductory level Japanese and technical Japanese, the introduction of technical Japanese to intensive course students should be done very carefully. Some students refuse to study technical Japanese, since they put priority in learning daily life Japanese. In order to introduce technical Japanese smoothly, it should be introduced as an extension of introductory level Japanese. In the new trial program of '96, kanji education has played an essential role as a pipe between introductory level Japanese and technical Japanese. Kanji which appear in a technical Japanese textbook have been precedently taught in the usage of daily life. Smooth introduction has been successfully performed in the trial program.
