Description

This paper reports the results of a survey on the teaching approaches in the revised MEXT-censored Englishtextbooks for junior and senior high schools focusing on whether there are any hints that can contribute to coping with thedifficult relative clause types. The results suggest that the types of relative clauses that are difficult for learners will remaindifficult unless each instructor (1) keeps a balance among the sentences to present to the learners, and (2) gives them someadditional exercises to help them understand the relative clause as a module in the main sentence which can be used both in thesubject and object positions.
