Abstract
The committee was organized within the Kanto Chapter of the Language Laboratory Association of Japan in February, 1971. It aims to make recommendations, suggestions and advice not only on the rationale of the language laboratory but also on the method, materials, equipment, operation and administration for those teaching a foreign language in kindergartens, primary schools, secondary schools, colleges and universities in Japan. The content of the recommendations are to be revised and supplemented each year. The committee consists of the following members: Hiroyoshi Hatori (Tokyo Gakugei University), Masaya Kaneda (Nagoyagakuin University), Sutesaburo Kohmoto Meijigakuin University), Hiroshi Suzuki (Tokyo University), Tatsuro Ishikawa (Kunitachi Senior High School of Tokyo-to), Shoji Shibasaki (The Junior High School Attached to the College of Education, Chiba University). This report is the findings of the committee which met five times during 1971. No description of the suggested standards are given here since such descriptions admit of no condensation.
