Abstract
This study presents the characteristics and creation process of the teaching materials developed for a 2-3 week Japanese intensive course that has been offered since 2022. The course is designed for beginner-level foreign residents aiming to acquire basic Japanese for daily life and to achieve A1 proficiency. It also addresses challenges encountered by instructors with limited experience in teaching Japanese, such as graduate students and Japanese language school teachers. The teaching materials were developed and continuously refined to enable instruction without the use of a mediator language. Additionally, a teacher’s guide was created to help instructors navigate these challenges.
