One of the problems of English education in Japan is that although students obtain extensive grammar knowledge, they will hardly be able to become successful communicators. In spite of 6-10 years of English instruction at school, most Japanese not only have a lot of difficulty in comprehending input, but also difficulty in making their output understood. Negotiation is adjustment which learners and their interlocutors make in order to increase the comprehensibility of the message. It has been one of the major issues in language learning and the language acquisition field presently however, it does not seem to have obtained sufficient recognition in the English education in Japan. With its practicality, negotiation would be a key factor in facilitating classroom interaction. This paper tries to review the historical and developmental background of negotiation theory (section 1), define its domain (section 2), describe its two aspects (section 3) and components of each of them (sections 4 and 5), draw out some insights from negotiation theory (section 6) and discuss their implications to activate English classrooms in Japan (section 7).
