Abstract

<p>Recently, foreign/second language education has been evaluated from the perspective of intercultural education. In other words, it is expected to provide the students with not only knowledge and skill regarding the grammar of a language but also intercultural skills. The term “intercultural” in this paper is based on the Council of Europe’s “Common European Framework of Reference for Languages” (Byram et al., 2002). This concept surpasses encouragement for and respect toward other languages and cultures; it targets the learners’ ability and motivation for building relationships with people of other languages and cultures (p. 7). This paper has two primary objectives: 1) to examine visual media used in Japanese language classes from an intercultural perspective and 2) to describe a case involving the utilization of the theoretical play “Tokyo Notes” to teach a Japanese language course.</p>
