Objectives This study is aimed at inducing learners' active and voluntary participation in class activities based on the EL (Engaged Learning) Class system, establishing and organizing creative and self-directed lesson plans, pro-moting a sense of sociality, cooperation and task-solving capabilities through the process of presentations and discussions among the participants, and finally cultivating talented future leaders in society. Methods By applying the three principles of “Defining a Problem”, “Drawing Ideas”, and “Application and Con-firmation of Solutions”, this scheme has been operated by centering on experience-based learning. Results The course of “French Theater” has been selected as the target program for the EL class for 21 learners who had applied for participation. But various outcomes — such as watching various performances, evaluation of works, and a survey of the theater, among others — were derived according to the learners' tastes and willingness to participate. By evaluating class satisfaction and participation, this study has examined the direction for further improvement in the next EL classes. Conclusions In the EL class, which was conducted for 21 learners, the instructor broke away from the previous method of unilaterally presenting a topic to the learners and instead induced the learners to present the topic, re-search and draw a solution, thus resulting in a higher level of participation. However, the study has produced some shortcomings in terms of spending more hours for activities other than those for classes on the side of the stu-dents and of producing more expenses for learning in conducting the EL class.
