This study focused on devising language activities (including experiential activities) in a class on classics of Japanese literature. The results of mentoring revealed the following : 1) Attention needs to be paid to the nature of a student’s physical disability, activities need to be linked to guidance in reading and writing, and students need to rewrite stories in their own words. 2) Use of the “hot-seating” technique as an experiential activity, created a cycle of perceptions to thoughts, and then thoughts to expression while learning about classic literature. In light of these findings, this study describes key points in teaching to foster the ability of students with physical disabilities to think and express themselves.
