On English Teaching Materials in Japanese Junior High Schools With Special Reference to Teaching of Cultures through Language

概要

論文の詳細を見る
To sum up, we cannot agree with Mr. Y. Nishiyama and his followers who maintain that the contents of junior high textbooks must be drastically changed into more familiar topics for Japanese students. If the cultural background of the teaching material is peculiar to English-speaking peoples and the wider its cultural gap for the Japanese people, the better material it will be for them to understand foreign countries. The materials of any foreign language teaching should be those which will enable the students to understand the culture of the people who speak the language as well as to use it as a means of communication.
