This study tried to clarify the components of competence in the teaching of English in elementary or junior high school in Japan with reference to similar studies in the Netherlands. A questionnaire-survey was conducted to see the differences of elementary and junior high school teachers. Then, the results was used to develop a check sheet with which students in teacher training course reflected their own learning by the comments from the teacher and the discussion with peers.
