This paper attempts to undertake a curriculum survey of the Four-Year Undergraduate Program of the Department of Applied Japanese, to get a better picture of how the Japanese Business Teaching is practiced in technical colleges and universities. Based on this study, some current problems and difficulties will be discussed and future issues will also be explored.The result of the survey shows that the business Japanese teaching of the Four-Year Undergraduate Program of the Department of Applied Japanese is currently constructed on the three course domains-business Japanese, authentic Japanese business context, and general business knowledge. No matter whether it is Japanese business context or general business context, the course content is always surrounded by such topics as trading, marketing analysis and economy. In terms of language learning, in order to increase students' competitiveness and professional competence in their work domain, business Japanese teaching should not be limited in business Japanese only; it is necessary to also enhance students' presentation skills, such as briefing or other language skills that will be needed on a variety of business occasions.This paper proposes three issues concerning the future Business Japanese Teaching, which are ”deepening the content of language courses,” ”adjusting teaching hours” and ”strengthening students' learning awareness”. To solve the first two problems, every school has to think about simplifying their goals of education and guiding their students from the basic level of Japanese to the professional one.
