| Research Abstract |
This study has demonstrated that many of the words and grammar points Japanese learners of English see and learn in their junior and senior high school textbooks can be used to solve problems they encounter in expressing ideas for which they do not know or fail to activate words and/or grammar points by using whatever alternative linguistic resources they have at their disposal. Based on an analysis of the words and grammar points in the textbooks which are potentially useful for paraphrase, the study has also produced a material for teaching and learning paraphrase, from Grades 7 to 12, as a communication strategy to compensate for unavailable words and/or grammar points.
