This paper aims at clarifying the conception of Matsumi Kaitô to construct a theory of language education.Constructing a theory of language education was the aim and the end of his studies in language education. He turned his attention to the reality of language education and treated it from a methodological viewpoint in order to construct a systematic theory of the science of language education. The viewpoint of the reality of language education forms an essential element in Kaitô's theory. He arranged all theories of language education into two types, theories based on the reality of language education and normative theories of language education.Kaitô's conception aims at reexamining the methods of studying language education by applying two methodological viewpoints. The viewpoint of the reality of language education is constructed in cnnection with these two categories of viewpoints, on the one hand the viewpoint of relation, on the other hand the viewpoint of culture which looks at reality in the light of culture.The construction of Kaitô's conception is guided by the following views on the reality of language education : First, the problem is stated from the viewpoint of the reality of language education; secondly the fields of study are determined by stating the problems. Each field corresponds to one volume of Kaitô's “Independent Lectures.” Examining these we discovered two mistakes : (1) The viewpoint is not sufficiently applied; (2) Kaitô regards the reality of language classes as the reality of language education. Because of these mistakes, the construction of Kaitô's conception contradicts his original aim. However, Kaitô's conception is still valuable in the sense that it takes the reality of language education as a viewpoint. Yet, we should reexamine the viewpoint and the methods of studying language education and try to construct a new systematic theory of language education.
