The analysis involved conducting a case study based on a comparison of two coordinators who belong to two different organizations. The analysis shows that both coordinators have common practices and principles regardless of the difference in their positions. On the other hand. they exhibit differences in terms of their personal viewpoints. sense of mission. and method of re-contextualization. Nowadays. the necessity of a system to facilitate Japanese language education for nonnative speakers is being widely discussed. The results of this research would provide an effective recommendation from the viewpoint of the establishment of an education system and teacher education.
