Abstract

In this article, we will be considering the issues on the methodology for developing the textbook “Japanese 1” for NUM’s Liberal arts education. When creating the textbook “Japanese 1” us authors, have aspired to follow the methodologies for developing foreign language teaching materials, common criteria for textbook, internationally accepted CEFR and the JF Standard for Japanese-Language Education. CEFR and JF standards both clearly define the Level A or beginners’ learning goals and objectives. We took those goals and objectives as our main indicators for evaluation and took a student- centered, communication-oriented approach. Furthermore, when setting learning goals and objectives and evaluating the results, we used the Can-do statements evaluation method, which focuses on “What will the learner be able to do?”. As the above-mentioned textbook is targeted for Mongolian students, it is structured around concepts concerning Mongolian cultural elements. In the future, we firmly believe that this textbook should be used as a comprehensive teaching aid for Japanese language and should be improved along the way. Also, we hereby acknowledge the necessity for developing the basis of creating the textbook for the next level.
