This paper proposes meaningfulness of continued improvement of the Japanese subjects through developmental evaluation. Out of Academic Japanese subjects for foreign students enrolled in degree programs in their first year, presentation skills class was evaluated to have achieved the overall purpose. Hence, we decided to introduce group presentation in the class to develop collaboration skills. Reevaluation of the subject based on survey confirmed that the students had exercised various approaches to tackle the challenge of online group presentation and that they had collaborated and deepened understanding during the preparation process.
