Description

In the present system of mass education, is it possible to lead students to experience such reading of literary works that, through literary language, can unfold quite a different aspect of the world to them and drastically change the mode of view and thought most of them are almost unconsciously caught in? I have made experiments with it in my Japanese language class with Haruki Murakami's Nanabanme-no-otoko as a textbook. As the report on my own teaching practices will show, the most important step in this kind of teaching is to find a way to make the students appreciate literary works more. It is exactly to that end that I spend much time in analyzing the narrative structure of the text in my class.
