Previous studies on educational materials have shown that video materials can be effective for Japanese language learning by children from foreign countries. However，it needs to be clarified what elements of video materials are responsible for their effectiveness. In this study，we conducted a questionnaire survey of Japanese language instructors at elementary and junior high schools who used the video materials developed by the authors to determine their evaluation of various elements related to the materials. The results indicated that the video materials were generally highly rated in terms of ease of use for instruction，use by one child，ease of understanding the learning content，and appropriateness of learning items，suggesting that these elements support the effectiveness of learning through the video materials. On the other hand，we also found that they were insufficient in promoting children's self-directed learning.
