The Preliminary Course in Japanese at Yokohama National University was initiated in 1992 with the opening of the Foreign Students' Center. This is a 6-month intensive course for absolute beginners. The objective of this course is to raise students' Japanese to Level 3 of the Japanese Proficiency Test. In April 1994 we had 5 students who came to us already having passed Level 3, and so we decided to begin an intermediate course. Currently, the Teaching of Japanese as a Foreign Language is still largely teacher-centered. However, we felt it was important to create a student-centered course, and so we began by carrying out a students' needs analysis - using a questionnaire and interviews - followed by a placement test to assess the students' level. And then the class started. On this course, we adopted the communicative approach, which places importance on the students' communicative ability. The textbook we used was Japanese Society - An Update, and 3 teachers shared the classes, co-ordinating their lessons. In this thesis, I discuss needs analysis, curriculum design, and the process of choosing appropriate teaching methods.
