Description

Recently I read the two comments about my study of teaching material. One by Hiroyuki Senda is very critical, and the other by Minoru Tanaka more sympathetic. So here I will give my answer to each of the comments and again think of the point of this controversy, that is, the role of "narration" in teaching literature. As I will demonstrate with the two different kinds of textbooks, a practical manual "Kuma-ni-attara-dosuruka" and a literary work "Takase-bune," kokugo education has now a three-fold bad tendency; to repress the act of narrating by marginalizing the place of literature in teaching, to allow no teaching material unfavorable to the government to be used, and to promote a more efficient skill-centered teaching. The result of silenced and unheard narration in class, I fear, will be to produce human machines with excellent linguistic skills but with no critical power.
