In order to develop a teaching method to help graduate-level international students and researchers who have come to Japan with little or no knowledge of Japanese, but who can devote only a limited amount of time to receiving formal instruction, we designed learning materials and activities for use in a short-term introductory course. The focus was on developing learn's skills to make use of their own environment, where they are daily exposed to real spoken communication, as a learning resource; they were encouraged to observe and catch expressions used in their laboratory in order to share them in class, so that they should gradually become aware of their own ability to learn the language by themselves and become sufficiently motivated to continue learning throughout their stay. Learner's evaluation at the completion of the course showed that both the materials and activities were greatly welcomed by the participants, who are eager to join in the laboratory's predominately Japanese community; they reported frequently using acquired expressions to initiate interactions as well as actively making observations.
