This paper describes the process and procedure of a project intended for the foreign students of an advanced Japanese language course at Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University in Beppu, Japan. The program utilizes the content-based approach to help those foreign students to develop academic skills in Japanese and encourage collaborative study with Japanese students. This method also allows foreign students to gain more opportunities to receive feedback from Japanese speakers and to interact with them. Academic skill in foreign language cannot be gained discretely as in the cases of proficiency in its vocabulary, writing, listening and speaking. It is important that we should make each skill linked with each other to function synthetically so that the target language may be all the more comprehended. In addition, this paper provides strategy for the use of academic technology, beyond the classroom activities, to connect all study skills, contents and lecture topics in a comprehensive, organized way.
