Abstract

<p>Children acquire linguistic ability from words infused with their nurturers’ love. So in my kokugo class, by the method based on Matsuzō Kaito’s spiritualistic philosophy of language, I teach my pupils how to read through a spiritual power inherent in words. While referring to Western monotheism and Japanese polytheism, here I will show how such spiritual reading can help children to find the way to what Minoru Tanaka calls the “third term.”</p>
