The increasing number of technical trainees in Akita City has led to arise in enrollment for local Japanese language classes. Researchers conducted a needs survey to enhance the appeal of these classes. They organized an online discussion session titled "Supporting Technical Trainees' Japanese Language Study" to share survey results and discuss language support. Participants included Akita City officials, company representatives employing trainees, and Japanese language instructors. This dialogue allowed for the identification of challenges faced by each group and the exchange of ideas on enhancing future Japanese language learning support. All participants expressed interest in similar meetings with trainees to make classes more engaging.
