Basic research for English pedagogical grammar for the purpose of educating Japanese citizens with good command of English

我们的研究是在日本英语学习者没有合适的学习材料来学习当前英语的前提下开始的。英语教学语法在这个国家已经有一百多年的历史了，其中有些部分从来没有修改过或审查过，只是被继承了下来。它们包含了无数老套的表达方式和语法规则，以及对英语的误导性解释。包括教育部在内的英国英语教育改革的建议一直非常关注如何教学，即教学方法。我们不反对改进教学方法，但我们坚持认为，我们也必须反思是否真正使用教材来教授目前使用的英语。我们相信，我们已经成功地公开了高中生在课堂或英语语法书中使用的材料存在许多问题，需要我们复习和努力修改。我们还从历史的角度对错误和误导性信息如何融入教学语法进行了广泛的研究。Yagi的著作《你的英语在课堂上教交际吗？》(2007，Kaitakusha，日文)和《英日词典研究》(2006，Kaitakusha，2006)都是前人研究的成果。我们还从短语学的角度对当前英语口语进行了广泛的研究，并将研究成果以论文形式在会议上发表，在期刊上发表。井上的《英语口语：语用学方法》(Kaitakusha，2006)是以书的形式发表的最杰出的研究成果之一。我们将把所有上述研究成果统一在一本全新的英语教学语法中。

Our research started on the premise that Japanese learners of English are not provided with proper learning materials to learn current English. English pedagogical grammars in this country have over a hundred years of history and some parts of them have never been revised or reviewed and simply have been inherited. They contain innumerable old-fashioned expressions and grammatical rules as well as misleading explanations about English.Proponents of the reformation of English education in this country including Education Ministry have been very much concerned with how to teach, that is, the method of teaching. We have no objection that we need to improve the method of teaching, but we insist that we also have to reconsider if we are truly using materials to teach currently used English.We believe that we have succeeded in making it public that the materials used in the classroom or English grammar books used by high school students contain many problems for us to review and have to make effort to revise.We have also done extensive research on how wrong and misleading information has been incorporated into pedagogical grammar from the historical perspective. Yagi's work Is Your English You Teach in the Class Communicative? (2007, Kaitakusha, written in Japanese) and A Study on English-Japanese Dictionaries (2006, Kaitakusha, 2006) are the published results of the preceding research.We have also conducted extensive research on current spoken English from phraseological point of view, and we have publicized the research results as paper presentations at conferences and papers in journals. Inoue's Spoken English: A Phrasiological Approach (Kaitakusha, 2006) is one of the most outstanding research results published in a book form.We are to set out unite all the above-mentioned research results in a drastically new English pedagogical grammar.
