The analysis of research hypotheses based on the research questions can be summarized as follows: First, the major satisfaction of Chinese students majoring in Japanese had a statistically significant positive effect on their academic achievement (β=.248, p<.001). Second, a statistically significant mediating effect of language anxiety was found in the relationship between the major satisfaction and academic achievement of Chinese students majoring in Japanese. The direct effect of major satisfaction on academic achievement was .267, and the indirect effect, showing the influence of major satisfaction on academic achievement through language anxiety, was -.120. Third, a statistically significant mediating effect of academic engagement was observed in the relationship between major satisfaction and academic achievement of Chinese students majoring in Japanese. The direct effect of major satisfaction on academic achievement was .263, and the indirect effect, showing the influence of major satisfaction on academic achievement through academic engagement, was .125. Fourth, among the extraverted students, the effect of major satisfaction on academic engagement was stronger, indicating a moderating effect depending on the learners' level of extraversion (z=3.189>1.965, p<.01). On the other hand, the learners' level of extraversion did not have a moderating effect on the relationship between major satisfaction and language anxiety (z=.137<1.965). Based on these research results, enhancing the academic achievement of international students can be accomplished by implementing student-centered teaching methods, providing high-quality educational materials, emphasizing practical Japanese language skills, and offering opportunities to experience Japanese culture.
