This paper attempts to categorize Japanese language teachers' attitude towards several parameters, including associates (i.e., learners and colleagues), profession meetings (i.e., society for the study of JSL), their lessons, and their teaching materials through their activities and awareness. 445 teachers responded to a questionnaire consisting of 89 items. From their responses, factor analysis revealed 5 primary factors, which were "positiveness toward studious activity", "flexible adaptability", "dependency", "consciousness of surroundings", and "dissatisfaction toward organization". Each factor showed a relationship with several parameters including age, personal possessions, experience of teaching abroad, and training course experience.
