The mandate of self-access centers is to provide a venue, materials and support for selfdirected learning; taking learning outside of the classroom. The Academic Achievement Center (AAC), on which this paper focusses, is a support service offered within a self-access center at a university in Japan. Students who receive support do so on a completely voluntary basis, in a self-directed effort to support and enhance their classroom learning. This paper was written as a collaboration between the coordinator of the AAC and three peer tutors, who were employed in the center. At the time of writing, one of the authors was a student in the Graduate School of Japanese Language Teaching Practices, while two were undergraduate students in the Faculty of International Liberal Arts; taking their learning outside of the selfaccess center and sharing it with a wider audience. This paper was motivated by the desire on the part of the peer tutors to share what we are doing in the AAC with those thinking of, or in the process of, creating a tutoring center, especially in Japan. Additionally, it was written to give readers an insight into how a tutoring center in an international university in Japan is run, as well as its successes and challenges. The paper itself is a co-authored publication by a professor and a few student-tutors, representing the vast possibilities of active and collaborative research which can be done in a university setting.

同行辅导：实践中的主动和协作学习

自学中心的任务是为自学提供场地，材料和支持；在教室外学习。本文着重介绍的学术成就中心（AAC）是在日本一所大学的自助访问中心内提供的支持服务。获得支持的学生完全自愿地这样做，这是一种自我指导的努力，以支持和增强他们的课堂学习。本文的撰写是AAC的协调员与三名同伴导师（他们受雇于该中心）之间的合作。在撰写本文时，作者之一是日本语言教学实践研究生院的学生，而两名是国际文科学院的本科学生。将他们的学习带到自助访问中心之外，并与更多的受众分享。本文的产生是出于同伴导师的愿望，即与那些正在考虑或正在创建一个补习中心（尤其是在日本）的人分享我们在AAC中所做的工作。此外，它的目的是使读者了解日本国际大学的辅导中心的运作方式，以及其成功和挑战。该论文本身是由一位教授和几位学生导师共同撰写的出版物，代表了可以在大学环境中进行主动和合作研究的巨大可能性。创建一个辅导中心，尤其是在日本。此外，它的目的是使读者了解日本国际大学的辅导中心的运作方式，以及其成功和挑战。该论文本身是由一位教授和几位学生导师共同撰写的出版物，代表了可以在大学环境中进行主动和合作研究的巨大可能性。创建一个辅导中心，尤其是在日本。此外，它的目的是使读者了解日本国际大学的辅导中心的运作方式，以及其成功和挑战。该论文本身是由一位教授和几位学生导师共同撰写的出版物，代表了可以在大学环境中进行主动和合作研究的巨大可能性。
