日本語クラスにおける「俳句ワークショップ」の実践報告と考察

―俳句が学習者にもたらすものと教師にできること―

抄録

With its simplicity and profundity, haiku is often utilized in Japanese Language Education. Despite having to maintain a rigid 5-7-5 form and include a seasonal word, haiku brings learners deeper understanding of Japanese culture, improving language skills and fostering creativity. At the same time, incorporating haiku in class can pose difficulties for Japanese language teachers. In this paper, I describe three types of in-class haiku lessons: 1) integration 2) creation and 3) appreciation. In addition, I discuss what haiku can do for learners and for the teaching of Japanese language.
