Abstract
In intermediate and advanced grammar classes for foreign Japanese-language teachers at the Japan Foundation Japanese-Language Institute, improvement of the teaching ability is an important objective, because the trainees are not only learners but also teachers of Japanese. The trainers give variety to explanations and exercises in teaching, so that the foreign trainees can get tips for teaching grammar in their own countries by experiencing a variety of instructions by themselves. This paper discusses the practices in grammar classes during the long-term training courses for foreign teachers in 2014, using the class records and the participant questionnaire as references, to organize the practices from the viewpoint of variation in grammar teaching.
