There has been a growing amount of necessity for self-learning due to the increasing number of the learners of Japanese as well as various types of learners, against the situation where IT-technologies have been developed and the paradigm of Japanese teaching has been shifted. In this article, we shall attempt to point out the effectiveness of selflearning by presenting a case study of the “e-learning” method. We applied the method to the learning of particles in composition class since the wrong use of grammar/vocabulary is observed frequently particularly in the case of particles. Our analysis based on the self-correction feedback reveals that the method is quite effective. Nevertheless, though it is relatively easy for the learners to self-correct the misuses of particles, a large amount of time may be required due to the high frequency of misused particles. Thus, multiple feedbacks are effective, as demonstrated in our survey with regard to three self-correction feedbacks. This result is also supported by a questionnaire test, where the leaners reported that they found it quite effective to selfcorrect their own mistakes.
