Abstract

In this research, the role of epistolary texts in readings was discussed, focusing on epistolary texts selected and recorded in the Womens Japanese Textbook: Third Revised Edition. As a result, the following three points were clarified: 1. Epistolary texts play an important role as tools to nurture linguistic skills that are practical in society and real life. 2. They take on the role of teaching about women’s lives through linguistic knowledge and educational materials treating linguistic attitudes to epistolary texts and utilizing the characteristics of epistolary texts that have inherited Japan’s traditional courtesy and wording. 3. They are designed so that writing and reading work effectively and learners can learn, utilize, explore, and transmit as a series of learning experiences by selecting and recording epistolary texts as models of composition and literature. Based on this, it can be said that epistolary texts perform as linguistic learning materials that create autonomous and voluntary learning.
