History of teaching materials for Literacy Education of the Early Elementary School, and Its Future Prospects

我澄清了小学语文教科书介绍材料的历史。特别是，我澄清了“小学国后德本”（又名樱花德本）的历史意义，这是日本第一次采用的方法。这本教科书深受德国“Hansa-fibel”的影响。通过深入调查，纠正了该研究领域中存在的一些错误信息。在此历史研究的基础上，笔者明确提出，我们应该进一步推动语文活动教材的完善，丰富我们的语文生活。

I clarified the history of the introductory material of elementary school language textbooks. In particular, I clarified the historical significance of the “Shogaku Kokugo Tokuhon"(aka Sakura Tokuhon) which adopted sentence-method as the first time in Japan. This textbook was much influenced by German “Hansa-fibel". By thorough investigation of it I corrected some wrong information which has been existed in this research field. I made it clear, based on this historical research, that we should promote further enhance of the teaching materials for language activities to enrich our language lives.
