Studies on teaching methods for teaching Japanology has been recently conducted. In particular, research on the design and implementation of real-time online classes has emerged after the spread of the COVID-19 and thus the research findings on their effects and limitations are not sufficient. This article attempt to fill this void by analyzing a case of designing and implementing a real-time online course on < Understanding Korea-Japan Relationship > which was offered to Japanese majors in the Department of Japanese Language and Literature at C university located in Gwangju. The ultimate purpose of this study is to provide pedagogical implications for teaching Japanology through the analysis of this particular online course. The results of the study can be summarized as follows: First, the non-face-to-face mode itself was not a factor that lowered the level of learner satisfaction of the course. In fact, in the real-time video lecture, the course objective was achieved as successfully as in the face-to-face class, with a sense of presence and liveliness mostly maintained throughout the online course. The analysis of the online discussion contents and the end-of-semester course evaluation indicated the successful achievement of the course objective and the high level of learner satisfaction. Secondly, by using the zoom chat window, all learners were able to actively participate in the online discussion. The finding that the online mode indeed induced all learners, not just some learners, to participate actively in the discussion is encouraging in that it indicates the advantage and possibility of the online mode in terms of the high level of learner participation. Lastly, it was found that the learners’ scores of the written test decreased compared to the face-to-face lecture due to several factors including the unfamiliar non-face-to-face test system, learners’ difficulty in answering 100% descriptive questions, and the lack of test time. It is suggested that such test-related issues as the diversification of question types, adjustment of difficulty level, and allocation of appropriate test time should be resolved in order to introduce the non-face- to-face test system.
