Report on Project Work: The Creation of Reading Materials for TADOKU by Students:

After One Year of Practice

Abstract

With the spread of TADOKU (extensive reading) in Japanese language teaching, activities to create reading materials for TADOKU have also expanded. This paper reports on project work in which Japanese and international students, including students in Japanese language teacher training courses, worked together to create reading materials. Students enjoyed the activity, learned, and felt a sense of fulfillment but on the other hand, they also experienced difficulties. Project implementation requires experience on the part of teachers, certain conditions are necessary to carry out the projects.
