Dr. Eleanor H. Jorden is one of the most influential linguists in the field of Japanese language education after World War II. Dr. Jorden participated in the Army Specialized Training Program in 1943 as a Japanese linguist and published her first Japanese language textbook, Spoken Japanese I & II with Professor Bernard Bloch of Yale University. With this publication, she made great contributions to Japanese pedagogical linguistics and foreign language testing. She also established a new teaching method of languages- the so-called 'Jorden Method.' She worked for various educational facilities, including the Foreign Service Institute of the US State Department, Yale University, Cornell University and Johns Hopkins Univer- sity, and trained many excellent teachers who are active today in teaching Japanese. She wrote two famous textbooks; Beginning Japanese (1963) and Japanese: the Spoken Language (1986), which have been widely adopted in various schools in and out of the U.S.A. In this paper, I would like to clarify her scholarly achievements in Japanese language education as much as I can in comparison with other teaching methods and theories.
