抄録
This study aims at developing teaching materials for introductory reading classes of Japanese, which are not mere reviews of grammar class but focus on obtaining information from texts. The materials, which are based on authentic materials found in daily life, are designed for working up students' interests so that they can bridge the class and the students' self-directed study outside class. The materials are also to encourage students to guess the meanings of unfamiliar words and phrases in the texts.
