| 内容記述 | This study examines the variety, frequency, and pedagogical presentation of intensifiers in four widely used CEFR A2– level English language textbooks (two American and two British) in Japan: Interchange 1 (Cambridge University Press), English Firsthand 1 (Pearson Japan K.K.), New Headway: Pre-intermediate (Oxford University Press), and Global: Pre-intermediate (Macmillan Education). Although intensifiers play a crucial role in developing communicative competence, their treatment in instructional materials has often been overlooked. Using systematic quantitative analysis with MAXQDA, 1,795 tokens of intensifiers were identified across the four textbooks, divided between American English (880 tokens) and British English (915 tokens) sources. The findings reveal that a narrow set of high-frequency intensifiers—very, so, and really—dominates, while pragmatically significant but less frequent items such as pretty and enough are underrepresented. American English textbooks emphasised so and really, whereas British English textbooks favoured very. Pedagogically, intensifiers were typically introduced through brief grammar notes and controlled drills, with limited attention to collocational patterns, register variation, or pragmatic use. These findings are situated within broader research on intensifiers in English, second language acquisition, and textbook evaluation. The study highlights implications for teaching practice and textbook design in Japan and offers recommendations for supplementing textbook input with corpus-informed materials and pragmatic awareness-raising tasks. | |||||||
