Research Abstract |
This study was conducted in order to promote English literacy education at the elementary school level, which hitherto has been neglected in Japan. Phonological awareness and alphabetical knowledge are necessary components in order to achieve literacy. Our study revealed that writing practice to master the alphabet and spelling is effective for attaining literacy. Through observing English classes at elementary schools in East Asian countries, we realized the importance of promoting literacy at elementary school level in Japan.
