This paper examined an issues of Media and information Literacy Curriculum for Teachers (MILCT) (UNESCO 2011) in Japan. In Japan, the concept of Media and Information Literacy is not understood enough among school teachers. It is why we need to teach MILCT for teacher through pre service and in service teacher training. Especially, in order to understand the concept of representation, which is one of the core concepts of MIL, the learning based on the appropriate understanding of semiotics as an academic background of MIL is indispensable. Pre-service teachers had learned the MILCT and they analyzed movies/dramas at the point of representation. They learned the concept of representation and reached revel 3-2 in a process of a boundary crossing. There is a possibility that pre service teachers will learn enough MILCT in Japan.
