Four major methods of teaching English have risen in post-war Japan; eigo de kangaeru (thinking in English) by Toru Matsumoto, shikan rodoku (reading out loud) by Masao Kunihiro, kangaeru eigo (English through thinking) by Michihiro Matsumoto, and contrastive analysis between English and Japanese in historical order.
