• Note (General): type:text; [ABSTRACT]Over the past ten years, Indonesia has become one of the countries in the world with significant increasing number of Japanese learners. The recent survey of Japanese education overseas conducted by Japan Foundation in 2012 pointed out Indonesia as the country with the second largest Japanese learners after China. It indicates the indisputable fact that Japanese has become a language of considerable significance in foreign language education in Indonesia. Furthermore, the growing bilateral cooperation and the spread of Japanese pop cultures also give a great influence. Many young people, especially in high schools, are motivated to study Japanese and eager to continue their study to higher educational institutions. In accordance with it, many Japanese departments were established in universities across the country. This paper discussed two studies conducted in an Indonesian university to explore affective factors constituted in the meaning-making process of Japanese learning in higher educational context. The first study was conducted using quantitative method to examine foreign language anxiety and its relation to motivation and learners’ perception of teachers’ behaviours among learners of five foreign language majors, namely Japanese, Korean, Arabic, French, and English. Results indicate Japanese learners tend to have higher anxiety associated with classroom procedures. The second study was conducted using narrative inquiry to investigate the process of motivational change among Japanese learners. These studies proposed some key roles Japanese department as a higher educational institution plays in fostering global human resources. The implications provide important insights into foreign language education planning in Indonesia.
