概要 The argumentative essay can be a challenging assignment for Japanese university students of English due to both the language proficiency and the critical thinking skills required. In comparison to native English speakers and non-native speakers of various other cultural backgrounds, Japanese students are likely to have had less practice with written argumentation and may find it difficult to choose appropriate support, explain the relevance of that support, and refute counterarguments. This paper discusses ways in which teachers can address these challenges by incorporating instruction and activities based on the Toulmin Model of Argument, which research has shown to be useful in improving written argumentation. In addition, the paper provides examples of some common logical fallacies that can weaken arguments and introduces activities designed to help students recognize and repair such fallacies.
