This study aims to explore under what circumstances those positive emotions like fun and pleasure learners of Japanese have during the learning process in which their motivation is enhanced. To achieve this, a research is conducted among twenty-one Taiwanese undergraduates with Japanese major. For in-class learning, there are four factors which affects their satisfaction, including (1) teaching methods (e.g., cooperative learning among learners and autonomy to participate and express oneself), (2) course content (e.g., design of interesting learning tasks), (3) sense of achievement (e.g., the achievement gained in Japanese learning) and (4) teacher factor (e.g., attention to individual learner). For out-of-class learning, the factors are (5) ''experience of proficiency'' (e.g., being able to understand Japanese subculture like animation and drama), (6) ''curiosity'' (e.g., being curious to know the new things about Japan, (7) ''Communication with Japanese'' (e.g., talking to Japanese) and (8) ''Increase in exchange scene with Japanese'' (e.g., making friends with Japanese).
