(i) The organization of background knowledge for each of the authentic materials from the learners' perspectives.
(ii) The clarification of the differences between a typical layout of Japanese materials and that of learners' native languages, what contents are written in which parts, and which part is the most important.
(iii) The presentation of information about characteristic Japanese expressions in each of the materials.
(iv) The selection of important Kanji, words, and phrases that are useful clues for reading and arrangement of the minimum information on the clues relevant to the contexts in which these are used.
