In this study, Examine Chuzo MITSUCHI’s view of education. In addition, this study examines the characteristics of Japanese language education as a foreign language. The research method is to compare “MITSUCHI’s Japanese Grammar books(1906, Japan)” and “Nichigo Tokuhon(1909, Korea)”. MITSUCHI focused on the “sentence” rather than the “part of speech” that was emphasized in grammar education. The reason MITSUCHI focusedon “writing” was that he hoped that “grammatical education” would not only be a means to understand the structure of sentences, but would also lead to “reading and writing skills”. “MITSUCHI’s Japanese Grammar books(1906, Japan)” and “Nichigo Tokuhon(1909, Korea)” reflect MITSUCHI’s view of education, which focused on “sentences”. Therefore, it is composed mainly of relationship between subject and predicate. However, there is a fundamental difference with “MITSUCHI’s Japanese Grammar books(1906, Japan)” and “Nichigo Tokuhon(1909, Korea)”. “MITSUCHI’s Japanese Grammar books(1906, Japan)” is a book for Japanese language education studied by students whose native language is Japanese. “Nichigo Tokuhon(1909, Korea)” is a book for Japanese language education studied by students whose foreign language is Japanese. MITSUCHI’s developed a “sentence pattern” to resolve the difference and introduced it into “Nichigo Tokuhon(1909, Korea)”. Sentence pattern is a pattern of frequently used subjects, particles, and predicates. MITSUCHI’ is the first to develop sentence pattern in Japanese language education. Therefore, the introduction of MITSUCHI’ sentence pattern has significance in the education of Japanese as a foreign language.
