Abstract
This paper introduces the video project for a Japanese language class, which is a regular class for the first grade students of the department of engineering. The object of this class is to make the students realize what kind of skills they particularly need to acquire and to help to achieve the development of their abilities. For this purpose, it is appropriate to conduct a video drama project which gives the students an opportunity to use their abilities at most. Through the second term of this class, it is concluded that work with a task-sheet had a good effect on clarifying the process of the task, making a scenario and editing etc. It was also effective to divide the students into several small groups intentionally. We evaluated the class objectively by totalising the mark considering their behaviour in class and their individual work examined by externals.
