| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
When reading folktales from Central and West Africa, Japanese readers are often surprised when they encounter moral and life lessons that are very different from these thought in Japanese folktales. To analyze and explain the cause of this surprise, I apply a phenomenological theory about reading proposed by Hans Robert Jauss. He propose that reader’s surprise comes from unmet expectations which result especially in their memory about similar stories. I also used folktales from Central and West Africa to promote learning of French and intercultural understanding of students . I discussed how collaboration with West and African students via the internet can further this learning and I proved validity of exchanges between Japanese students and foreign students about a intercultural topic by presentation and report by students.
