 note = {P(論文), The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the need for improvement of the syllabus currently used by this author at a Japanese university specializing in English education. The role of syllabus design on the development of teaching philosophy, which contains a set of procedures, principles and methods for teaching a language, will be discussed based on the current literature. I will discuss the teaching context including university goals, learner characteristics and teacher beliefs on learning in order to justify recommendations to the syllabus. Following the description of my teaching context, the university syllabus will be described, analyzed and evaluated in terms of its role on the course, materials, teachers and students. Research, theory, and this author's classroom research support the hypothesis that recommendations for the improvement of the syllabus in terms of changes to the main syllabus and sub syllabus will create better opportunities for learners to acquire language. I will then present a sample syllabus that best suites my teaching context and learner needs. The concluding section will make generalizations on innovated syllabus design implementation regarding the realities of day to day classroom practices.},
