<![CDATA[This research is a quantitative descriptive study that will describe: (1) the conditions of learning Japanese online through WhatsApp Group (WAG) at SMK Kesehatan Sadewa Yogyakarta, and (2) the students' perceptions about the use of kosanoge. The Japanese language course was introduced at this school in 2020. As the Covid-19 pandemic since March 2020 has disrupted the educational activities at schools, the teaching and learning at SMK Kesehatan Sadewa, including Japanese, must be carried out online. WhatsApp Group (WAG) was chosen as a medium for interactive and useful online learning. In practice, students are introduced to the kosanoge vocabulary game which aims to increase the student’s enthusiasm for learning. The data were taken from the results of observations of class activities and online surveys. The random sample shows that the students were happy with the implementation of the kosanoge, but some students had difficulties because they had not memorized hiragana. A further research needs to be conducted to determine the effect of teacher classroom actions taken to increase student interaction in a class by using kosanoge games.]]>
