This report is about the development of mobile application for Japanese Language Level 1 in UNIMAS. The project aims to develop a mobile application for the students that currently take Japanese Language Level 1. This application provides an innovative approach for interactive learning environments by utilizing digital technologies among undergraduates’ students which can help the them to gain an understanding in Japanese learning. By using this application, students can learn Japanese anytime, anywhere and even outside the class session. Nihongo Hiragana Now can enhance students learning skill as it provides quiz and audio for memorising, listening and pronouncing during the learning sessions. Even though the proposed application is simple, but surely will give a huge impact on those students who use this application. Before the development process of this application is conducted, the existing mobile applications that are related to this application are reviewed to gather the features and functionality that are suitable and practicable. The methodology used to develop the proposed application is the Rapid Application Development (RAD) model. The proposed application is developed based on the collected requirements and design to make sure the development process is carried out systematically.
