Abstract
This paper examines the usefulness of incorporating into Japanese courses Keigo phrases, which learners hear and read daily, into regular short JSL learning activities for analysis in Japanese classes. The intent of Keigo phrases associated with specific situations was grasped at Level 0, and Keigo phrases were analyzed with vis-a-vis maintaining interpersonal relationships and being considerate. This procedure showed the potential for improving Keigo communication analysis skills. Furthermore, by continuing this type of analytical thinking for eight weeks, learners are expected to not only improve their comprehension but also their expressive abilities.
