Japanese Language Teaching: A Communicative Approach
Japanese Language Teaching: A Communicative Approach is a text-book written
in order to help students, instructors and young researchers reflect on certain
topics related to second language learning and communicative language
teaching. The text-book is designed for those undergraduate students or
trainee teachers with little or no knowledge of theory and research in second
language learning and communicative language teaching. On one hand, this
book seeks to explore some issues related to language learning which could
be considered to have underpinned the communicative language teaching
approach. On the other hand, it provides suggestions for good communicative
classroom tasks in the teaching of Japanese. Japanese teaching practice has
mainly concentrated on teaching the grammatical system of the language and
providing learners with very little opportunities to develop communicative
skills. In my view, the teaching of Japanese to second language learners in the
United Kingdom is still very traditional and this is also proved by the use of
traditional books used by teachers to teach Japanese. This text-book is an
attempt to reflect on why, what and how the communicative language teaching
approach should be incorporated into the teaching of Japanese. At the same
time, its main purpose is to encourage students, instructors and young
researchers to undertake empirical studies of Japanese language acquisition
and teaching to further their understanding of Japanese second language
acquisition.
This text-book provides the reader with the underpinning knowledge to
analyse some of the main issues around the role of grammar instruction and
communicative language teaching and to relate these issues to his own experience
so that he can apply them in his own practice as an instructor, researcher
or material developer.
