Abstract
We have incorporated debate into the advanced Japanese class throughout the year. We thus would like to report syllabus contents, such as selection of the debate topic, preparation, practical activities and viewpoints of guidance. The report also includes ways for debate judgement and self-evaluation by students. The students' ability improved by an implementation of debate will be compared and examined with other lessons, such as reading comprehension. This will be further developed to consider the whole notion of debate, in terms of the outcome, significance and points to notice.
