外国人児童の日本語指導におけるリライト教材の必要性と使用可能性

This paper suggests a new method of teaching Japanese to schoolchildren from non-Japanese backgrounds by using rewritten texts from Japanese school textbooks. Senoo (2012a) had highlighted the problems of schoolchildren from non-Japanese backgrounds face when studying Japanese using Japanese-language elementary school textbooks.　　

Senoo (2012a) observed a Japanese class in an elementary school in which a considerable number of schoolchildren from non-Japanese backgrounds studied, and noticed the problems they had in studying Japanese. In the class, there were many issues with the curriculum and the way of teaching Japanese. This paper focuses on the many problems in Japanese-language elementary school textbooks. To overcome these problems, this paper suggests a method of using rewritten texts from Japanese school textbooks to teach Japanese.
