 note = {application/pdf, 論文(Article), As is well known, the government has finally approved English as an elementary school　subject, with a transition period beginning in 2018 and full implementation in 2020 in time for　the Tokyo Olympics. The present speaking and listening focused Hi Friends materials　will　be adapted and used for the first time with grade threes and fours in English　Activity classes,　and new four-skills　materials will be developed for grades five　and six. The upper grades will receive two regular English lessons a week with one more lesson hour provided via three,　shorter　module lessons. Reading and writing materials are already being piloted in MEXT-designated research schools under the title Hi Friends +. These consist of CDROM exercises for use in whole class instruction and printable handouts for student use. At present, guidelines on methodology, sequencing of instruction and lesson plans are not provided, leaving teachers and schools to create their own lessons and syllabuses willy-nilly. This paper aims to address some of these gaps so teachers can design their own instruction in a more consistent and logical fashion using the designated materials.},
