 note = {While English activities have become more prevalent at Japanese elementary schools, the level of education in terms of teachers' English abilities and their teaching skills has continued to be rather low. Therefore, in order to more effectively promote a higher quality of English education nationwide, a clear description of the standards that elementary English teachers should meet is in great need. Based on numerous previous studies, this study will offer suggestions about the following three aspects of elementary school English teacher competence: (a) English language abilities, (b) teaching skills and knowledge related to teaching methodology, and (c) teacher attitude. In addition, based on English language proficiency tests which have been administered in Japan or other countries, the author of this paper will introduce an outline of measuring instruments she plans to create that will evaluate the competence of English teachers in Japanese elementary schools. These instruments will focus on oral English ability and teaching skills. She plans to measure these two aspects of competence through two measuring instruments: a listening test and an individual interview in English. （和文）　小学校での英語活動が普及している一方で、主な指導者である担任教員の英語力不足、指導力不足が問題となっている。このような現状から、小学校英語指導者に求められる英語力、指導力などの資質構成要因を明確にし、求められる資質を持った指導者を養成することが小学校英語活動の改善にとって重要である。この論文では、小学校英語指導者に求められる資質基準を、英語力、指導力および関連知識、適性の3つに分けて提案し、その中でも英語力と指導力に焦点を当てた2種類の資質測定方法案として、リスニングテストとインタビューテストの内容を提示する。, 記事区分：原著, application/pdf},
