In Japan, the workshop‐style approach for teaching reading has drawn recent attention. However, the obligation to use Ministry of Education–approved textbooks makes applying this method in classes difficult. In this study, we aimed to investigate the possibilities of incorporating workshop‐style lessons into a Japanese language arts class and its benefits for high school students. Based on findings from questionnaires and interviews undertaken with students and reflective dialogues with the teacher, the benefits of incorporating reading workshop–style lessons were examined and compared with the traditional textbook‐style lesson. The main finding is that reading self‐selected books accompanied by teacher/student conferences nurtures good reading habits. Although this study indicates the importance of workshop‐style lessons, it also highlights the benefits and importance of traditional textbook‐style lessons. Finally, how to integrate them into the curriculum is discussed.

鼓励独立读者：在日本高中课堂中结合阅读讲习班和基于课本的课程

在日本，讲习班式的阅读教学法最近引起了人们的关注。但是，使用教育部批准的教科书的义务使在课堂上应用这种方法很困难。在本研究中，我们旨在研究将讲习班形式的课程纳入日语艺术课的可能性及其对高中生的好处。根据对学生进行的问卷调查和访谈的结果以及与老师的反思性对话，研究了将阅读工作坊式的课程纳入教学的好处，并将其与传统的课本式的课程进行了比较。主要发现是在老师/学生会议的陪伴下阅读自选书籍会养成良好的阅读习惯。尽管这项研究表明了讲习班式课程的重要性，它还强调了传统教科书式课程的好处和重要性。最后，讨论了如何将它们整合到课程中。
