Abstract

This study analyzes themes used in Japanese Textbooks of Middle school (2009 Revised Curriculum) and discusses the actual condition and problems of theme use. To summarize the results. First, five items (relationship with other people, education, good use of leisure, dietary life, and the target language's national culture) account for 80% of themes for the Japanese textbook's four functions and they are used repeatedly. Second, in case of each use rate of the language four functions, while all the five kinds of textbooks focus on communicative activities focused on speaking skills, introduction of themes about writing skills is relatively inactive. Third, analyzing themes in hierarchical classification method shows that the field of language skills is not connected with contents presented in cultural skill section; vocabularies on ‘basic vocabulary list’ are limitative; basic communication expressions which had been presented are not presented once more; there should be an active introduction of new themes; etc. To solve those problems, following suggestions were made. First, subsections about themes for Japanese course should be specified. Themes that can be widely used both in Japanese textbook for middle school and high school should be developed and indicated on curriculum to pursue connectivity and diversity of textbook contents. Second, basic communication expressions related with textbook contents should be reconstituted considering that textbooks feature basic communication expressions.
