This study aims to pursue a Japanese language teaching and learning design that can be applied to the future educational environment change in the post-corona era called Untact New Normal. As a starting point, the study analyzed the lecture satisfaction rates of Japanese learners who are currently taking non-face-to-face online classes. Further, the current online teaching method was reviewed, results of which were then adopted to gain implications for preparing the new online teaching. In the 2nd semester of 2020, Japanese writing classes were delivered in the online mode using pre-recorded lecture videos and learners’ satisfaction with the lectures was surveyed in terms of (1) L earning content satisfaction, (2) Class management satisfaction, (3) Learning effect (achievement) satisfaction, (4) Learning evaluation satisfaction, and (5) Learning tool satisfaction. Results of the survey revealed that the satisfaction level of (1) and (2) was generally high, but (3) [writing ability] was evaluated low, and (4) [regular test] and [absolute evaluation] showed low satisfaction. In addition, (5) in terms of using LMS, the satisfaction with the learning tool was very low, indicating the urgent need to improve the teaching and learning environment in the future.
