This workshop included four individual workshop sections held over four days. These workshop sections aimed to explore the needs of international students in a language school. This is important due to the lack of support that has been provided to international students, and the limited efforts put forth to investigate their needs. International students not only experience cultural adaptation, but also have to adapt to new physical environments. During the process of their adaption, they have different needs depending on the different stages of their adaptation. Providing the appropriate support at the right time is critical for them, because if the support provided is misaligned to their needs, the support will reduce their motivation toward seeking help and therefore fail the subject. The subjects of this workshop were international students who had been living in Japan for less than three months, and those who had been living here for more than six months. This workshop adopted the methodology of a focus group interview to bring interactivity into the discussions. Members were motivated and stimulated by each other to bring each topic to a deeper level during each session. Rich and valuable data was collected during each session and members made a significant contribution and were empowered through sharing with each other.
