在日語教育現場，包含跨文化溝通能力在內的學習者日語能力會受到檢驗。真正的日語跨文化溝通能力育成光靠編纂的教科書是不夠的。本稿於檢視初級教科書句型指導的實際狀況之後，以村上春樹「螢」為文本，就句子的長度、構造、副詞使用、歷史的現在等角度加以探討。由於「螢」有會話部分和敘述部分，因此學習者經由閱讀可以同時接觸到日語的各種表達法，可以說是日語教材的選項之一。筆者建議日語教育可以多加利用。

At the Japanese language education spot, Japanese power including a student's cultural exchange capability is asked. It is insufficient only with the textbook artificially edited by true cultural exchange capability training in Japanese. In this paper, after considering the actual condition of sentence type instruction with a beginners' class textbook, Haruki Murakami ＂Hotaru＂ was clarified for the length of the sentence, the structure of a sentence, adverb use, a historic present, etc. at the text. There are written Japanese and spoken Japanese in Haruki Murakami 'Hotaru'. I would like to propose for the ＂Hotaru＂ which can break many Japanese usages at once to be one of the good choices of Japanese teaching materials.
