Popis: We have researched the implementation of Japanese Language Education for Sustainability adopted in a Chinese university as a primary course of study under the title “Comprehensive Japanese”. The scope of this research ranges from the analysis of the process that transforms participating student’s cognizance of the social globalization challenge to the clarification of the significance of the implementation itself.Analysis of student’s “performance reviews” and written compositions has enabled us to recognize the cognitive stages that one may pass through: “a superficial understanding of confronting globalization”, “the confirmation of background problems”, “recognition of the impacts on other countries with problems”, and “the conflict over the gap between one’s self and society”. It can be said that overcoming the conflict as well as recognizing the link between social globalization and one’s self not only demonstrate the significance of the implementation but also suggest a long-term need to continue it.We consider it important from here on to continue an activity that supports the pursuit of a sustainable way of life and whose aim is to help develop, in stages, young people’s will to work toward a society in which the self is the starting point.
