The most important and necessary thing in a class is a "interest and participation of learners" in it. Of course, the roles their teachers play in them can't be put aside. But the teachers without them could not serve as their own being any more. To derive a voluntary interest & participation from them would contribute to the accomplishment of their respective goals and satisfactions. The existing educational system where all the students have to do is stuff their heads with indigestibly countless pieces of knowledge should be "sublated". As it is put above, the existing class of the classical literature have centered upon translating and learning its vocabulary, which means that they failed to derive an active interest & participation from their learners. The vocabulary just strange to them has led them to turn a deaf ear to the class. The classics, however, is far from being difficult to understand and enjoy, and from being separated form our reality. Then, what is the first thing to do is derive active and voluntary interests and participations in the classics from the learners, which would consistently help them do well on their study, while a forcibly derived interest & participation will tend to be a temporary and passing phenomenon, resulting in a failure in their study. In this study, to derive such innermost and voluntary motivation, a methodological discussion has been proposed.
The existing class includes the way the learners were asked to write a composition describing their impressions of the classical literature that should be submitted in. The methodological discussion proposed in this study covers not only such way, but also a discussion about the related deliberates among the learners that enables them to experience and share deepened impressions in a cognitive and definitive manner. First, in the cognitive aspects, they can solve, for themselves, the unsolved or something curious arising in them in the process of reading the classics, and enlarge their schema containing the one from others, as will pile up on their existing pieces of knowledge. They can also compare thoughts and impressions from others with theirs. Second, in the definitive aspects, they come to strain their ears to opinions form others, showing the attitudes in which they're willing to embrace the opinions. Those attitudes refer to the tendency where, when they set forth their own opinions, they reflect the ones different from theirs, considering others'situations and intentions. If the teachers efficiently introduce such methodological discussion into their class of the classical literature, their learners can enjoy it in a delightful manner that is not only a difficult subject to attend any more, but reflects our reality to a degree.
