Following the Participatory Evaluation theory, teachers-in-training both planned and ran their own training programs. Need assessments were also done by the participating teachers, and the training form changed from a lecture-course type to a problem-solving type. Collaboration between colleagues encouraged, a common framework for Japanese language assessment called Nihongo Step, was developed. This enabled teachers to make lesson plans for the Japanese language classroom that were more useful, relevant, and applicable to the foreign student’s main classwork. Analysis of the decision-making processes of teachers and construction of a model for effective management of teacher-training programs have yet to be completed.
