All school senior high school English textbooks must follow the government prescribed guidelines, "The Course of Study for Foreign Languages", which emphasizes `Language Activities', particularly in the forms of `Language Functions' and `Language-use Situations'. The goal is to develop students' basic abilities to understand and convey information, ideas, intentions, and so on. These `Language-use Situations' can be classified as the following types of communication, 1) Situations for communication on an individual basis, 2) Situations for communication in groups, 3) Situations for communication aimed at a large number of people, 4) Situations for creative communication. In order to pursue these objectives, various topics and subject matters are taken up. One of them is from newspaper articles. Newspaper articles take up in the textbooks make up about 10 and 20% of the chapters and activities designated to fulfill the requirement of developing students' ability to communicate with a mass audience. This paper will survey and analyze 208 textbooks currently used (2008, 2009) in three of the six English courses (English I , II , and Reading) with the authors' intention to raise students' ability to effectively use newspapers. The ability to effectively use newspapers requires reading strategies unique to the genre, yet this ability is crucial to developing critical thinking skills and the habit of lifelong learning.}, pages = {87--113}, title = {高校英語教科書における「新聞記事」の扱い : 2008 ・ 2009年度版の英語 I, II, リーディングを中心に}, volume = {5}, year = {2010} }
