　The target audience for educational methods using picture books is mainly native-speaking children, but if we focus on the characteristics of picture books, they also have a character and nature that can be used in Japanese language education for foreigners targeting junior and senior high school students and adults. This study analyses the respective characteristics of picture books and Japanese language education and the connections between the two from the perspective of learning syllabuses and learning strategies, and submits the possibilities of utilizing them in Japanese language education. While it was found that learning events such as learning new words, writing practice, presentation, creative writing and discussion can be conducted using picture books, the fact that there are no standards for levelling picture books that can be referred to when trying to use picture books in education is a problem that cannot be ignored when actually putting them into operation. It is aimed to submit a levelling standard for picture books that can be used in Japanese language education in the future.
