While kanji is usually taught step by step at the beginning level, from the intermediate level, learners are gradually expected to study more independently. Low-intermediate learners encounter a number of difficulties. For example, they are encouraged to use kanji dictionaries written entirely in Japanese. However, they still have great difficulty using these dictionaries quickly and efficiently. In addition, various factors have positive or negative effects on their memory of kanji. This paper reports on a teaching method used in a low-intermediate Japanese course ( Japanese IV, winter, 1990 ). Glossary-like materials, created to supplement the Japanese IV kanji text, are described. Kanji test and quiz score data revealing information about retention is presented. The new materials were used mainly to support classwork. They included the shape, meaning, reading, and examples of words and sentences of kanji newly introduced. They supported the lack of information in the main text and saved a lot of explanation time in the classroom while helping learners to study more smoothly. During the term, there were several quizzes and a kanji final exam. Scores were collected and analyzed to examine how well the kanji readings and drawings were retained. According to the analysis, when asked for the reading of kanji, time since the kanji was assigned for study seemed to be a prime factor influencing memory. Students remembered the readings correctly for kanji studied most recently. When given reading and requested to write the kanji, frequency of encounter or usage seemed to be the prime factor influencing memory. For example, students could more easily write correctly kanji seen in everyday life.
