Description

After the Period of Integrated Study was introduced into the Japanese national curriculum in 2002, almost all elementary schools began to adopt “English Activities” as part of their classes in the field of international understanding. Among other related issues, this article focuses on the present state of English Activities in elementary schools, with particular reference to materials for teaching English vocabulary. The authors have developed computer animations towards an introduction of the schematic formation of verbs, in which students try to guess the meaning. The aims of this paper are as follows：to design animated materials for use in teaching English vocabulary in elementary schools；to examine the practical problems involved；and to argue the necessity of teaching basic English verbs in Japanese elementary schools. In order to determine more accurately how these materials can be improved, further research will be required.
