I conducted an analysis of a list of reading materials in Japanese language textbooks by topic using the “Japanese Language Textbook Reading Materials List by Topic”. I also introduced examples of how this list can be used along with the details of its creation. The list categorizes 3250 reading materials into 100 topics from 185 Japanese language textbooks published to date. My analysis of the list provided an overview of the topics that have been addressed in Japanese language education to date. Further, I suggested using the list by introducing “extensive reading by topic” which encourages systematic vocabulary acquisition and “SDGs to learn using Japanese language textbooks” as content-oriented education.
