Abstract
The Study Group for the Promotion of Multilingual Education (chaired by Professor Atsuko Koishi) of the Japan Association of Language Policy (Professor Mamoru Morizumi, President) has been undergoing a project to develop curriculum guidelines for teaching foreign languages other than English (i.e., Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Korean, Russian, and Spanish). This paper describes an endeavor to develop the curriculum guidelines for teaching German as a foreign language in this project.
