Abstract

For Indonesian internship candidates who want to work in Japan, language skills are certainly a key focus. These skills are not only an administrative requirement, but also essential for adapting to the Japanese work environment and culture, which are very different from those in Indonesia. However, in the process, many of them experience anxiety due to the demand to master Japanese in a short period of time and the knowledge that they will be required to communicate in Japanese at their workplace in Japan. This study aims to identify and analyze the forms of anxiety experienced by learners at the Job Training Institute (LPK) during the Japanese language learning process in the classroom. This study uses a survey method with a research instrument in the form of a questionnaire based on the Japanese Language Anxiety Scale In Class (JLAS-IN) (Motoda, 2000). The questionnaire was given to 69 respondents who were prospective interns studying Japanese at LPK. In addition to the questionnaire, follow-up interviews were conducted with 5 respondents. The results of this study indicate that learners at LPK do not feel anxious when learning Japanese. This study is expected to contribute to the field of language teaching, particularly in understanding the anxiety experienced by prospective Indonesian Japanese language trainees at LPK, as well as providing evaluation material for LPK in improving the effectiveness of Japanese language training.
