This paper describes efforts to develop and fuse two streams of traditional tanka learning, that is, viewing-type learning and creative-type learning. Students were assigned into groups and asked to modify songs into tanka songs. Students were then asked to develop a set of evaluation criteria by watching, for example, TEDTalks, then share the songs in class presentations, and to conduct mutual evaluation.
In conclusion, while it was recognized that being aware of the listener was important, the problem of how to make use of that recognition remains.
