What is the "Kyôkasho
o Tsukurô" Series? |
| |
"Kyôkasho o Tsukurô"
is a collection of teaching resources for elementary Japanese compiled by the
Japan Foundation as one type of support for Japanese language education overseas.
These resources were created as references for producing teaching materials aimed
at the secondary level (junior high school and high school) students. "Kyôkasho
o Tsukurô" was published in March 1999, followed by "Zoku Kyôkasho
o Tsukurô " in May 2001. In March 2002, we published a revised version
of "Kyôkasho o Tsukurô" on the basis of opinions submitted
from teachers who have been using the materials.
The series consists of the "Setsumei Hen" ("Grammar Notes"),
a compilation of sample sentences and explanations, and two volumes of the "Renshû
Hen" ("Activity Book"), a collection of exercises and activities,
as well as two cassette tapes that go with the "Renshû Hen."

Using "Kyôkasho o Tsukurô"

The objectives, classroom time, and learning environment
for Japanese language education vary by country and region. In order to produce
a textbook and teaching materials suitable for learners in your country, you may
need to translate some parts, provide more detailed explanations, or replace the
vocabulary with vocabulary that is more accessible and congenial to the students.
We hope that cooperation between us and the users of "Kyôkasho o Tsukurô"
will lead to the development of textbooks and teaching materials in many countries
that students will actually look forward to using.
If you produce a textbook using the resources collected in "Kyôkasho
o Tsukurô", you do not need to obtain copyright permission from the
Japan Foundation, but we have a few requests concerning use of these materials,
