I conducted a survey on the development of “Language Ability” necessary for international students in a graduate science course in English to settle in Japanese society. I interviewed three people: a university career support staff, a person from a company employing international students, and a supporter for foreign residents. The result of this survey shows that, although “Japanese language skills” were emphasized in daily life, the needs of the high Japanese language skills in job hunting or in companies are not mentioned especially.
