Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review
Based on knowledge of education, learning, the genetic psychology, I lecture on a cognitive mechanism (the development of the development of outer speech and inner speech, a concept and the logical operation, intellectual power, operation memory and long-term memory) to support Japanese listening comprehesion  ("to hear"), utterance ("to talk"), reading and understanding ("to read"), composition ("to write") while introducing a proof study. I develop an interactive class while being based on learning experience of the attendance life (student of the Japanese mother tongue speaker, foreign student). I want the effectiveness to argue about a typical teaching method practiced in a field of modern national language education and the Japanese education from the viewpoint of the mechanism of the learner. 
Requirements Nothing in particular. 
Grading Method By 50% of action degrees (question, reply in class, participation in discussion degree) to a class, results 50% of the term paper, I evaluate it generally.
