This study examined the effectiveness of collaborative evaluation learning within the Japanese II class (52students), a second semester first-year course at an institution of higher education. Interviews were conducted after the class and analyzed using a modified grounded theory approach. As a result, the process of knowledge acceptance, knowledge digestion, deep learning, and continuous learning was confirmed. On the other hand, we also observed a rejection of the knowledge without accepting it, failing to reach the stage of knowledge acceptance, knowledge digestion. Reflections on their studies by the students suggested that they had acquired a collaborative spirit, a budding interest in classical works, and a sense of autonomy and continuity.
