Abstract
In this study, I conducted a qualitative study on Vietnamese students who participated in the “Local Japanese Language and Culture Classes” project, to improve the “autonomy” of students who want to become Japanese language teachers in primary and secondary schools in Vietnam as part of their Japanese language teacher training course. As a result, I have analyzed the process of transformation of Vietnamese students' consciousness and clarified how autonomy is improved. I was also able to clarify the factors behind the transformation process of consciousness. Based on the results of the analysis and consideration, a model case for a Japanese language teacher training process aimed at improving autonomy could be proposed to improve the quality of Japanese language teacher training program in Vietnam.
