This paper aims at the development of the effective associative method materials for the Katakana teaching which overthrows the following difficulties. Even the instructors or teachers of the Japanese language feel the importance of Katakana instruction. It is difficult to increase the time spend on it in the present situation. Although a problem exists, the development of an effective method of instruction and teaching materials on the Katakana teaching is not progressing. The experiment lessons performed in 2013 were proposed by Tanaka and Wakatsuki(2013). In this experiment, one uses the associative method materials for Katakana teaching and the other does not use the associative method materials. The objects were 52 students who study Japanese under the general education curriculum at a Korean 4-year university. As a result of doing a Katakana reading test before and after the lessons, the outstanding effect was observed in the use of the associative method materials for the Katakana teaching. For those who received the lesson with the associative method materials, the percentage of correct answers of "'エ, カ, タ, and ツ" was 100%. Hence, the lesson which used such method for the students to memorize Katakana characters relating new information with the knowledge that they already have was more effective. Moreover, 24 characters were answered correctly by 80% or higher and only 3 characters were correctly answered by 50% or less. On the other hand, when the associative method was not used, only 3 characters were answered correctly by 80% or more and there were 50% or less for 37 characters. With different instructions in classes, the among the students’ levels became smaller when the associative method was used. And, it became larger when it was not used. Therefore, it is obvious that the usage of the associative method materials for the Katakana teaching has lower rates of dependence on students’ capability or efforts, and it has less burden on students.
