UG Univ vol., -, Orginal Article Analyzing Oral Activities and Tasks in Japanese Senior High School Textbooks Fusako ARAKANE Faculty of Health Sciences, Uekusa Gakuen University This study analyzes the activities and tasks in twenty-seven Japanese senior high school textbooks, attempting to clarify which activities and task characteristics are most commonly present. As part of the present Course of Study, the Ministry of Education introduced a new kind of course, which includes Communication English, English Expression, and English Conversation. The actual instruction of this course began in the classroom in In line with the recent communicative trend, there have been growing expectation of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) in the teaching of oral English. There has been a great deal of discussion on effective techniques for using TBLT. At the same time, very little research has been carried out to draw on regarding how effective TBLT in Japan actually is. Instead a new way from TBLT has appeared: Task-Supported Language Teaching (TSLT). Considering this background, the activities in senior high school textbooks were analyzed from the following four viewpoints: 1) Communication Activity (CA) 2) Task-Oriented Activity (TOA) 3) Task Activity (TA) 4) Task. From the results of the analysis, it was found that there were few task activities and tasks in Japanese senior high school textbooks. These findings suggest that it is necessary to not only proactively increase meaning focused activities in English textbooks, but also modify TBLT in English classes so that they match the descriptive contents of the Course of Study. Keywords: activities, tasks, communication, TBLT, TSLT [1] Fusako ARAKANE, f-arakane@uekusa.ac.jp
