1. Design of Instruction starts from essential-orientedly studing subjects.
   
   
2. Next, the content of the four phases of instruction is determined.
   
   
   1. Letting students see a form. (Introducing a form as a cultural heritage.)
   2. Letting students know/find the (instrumental) meaning of the form.
   3. Letting students evaluate the form as a workmanship.
   4. Letting students exercise in using the form.
   
   
3. Then designing unit comes.
   
   
   • A set of classes where a unit of sucject is instructed is called a unit.
     A unit is a realization of the "four phases of subject instruction".
   
   
4. And finally, designing each class session comes.
   
   
   • In principle, one subject per unit hour of instruction.

• Remember to proceed in the order of "whole --> part --> element". That is, "top-down" is the way.
