Abstract	In Japan, the workshop-style approach for teaching reading has drawn recent attention. However, the obligation to use Ministry of Education-approved textbooks makes applying this method in classes difficult. In this study, we aimed to investigate the possibilities of incorporating workshop-style lessons into a Japanese language arts class and its benefits for high school students. Based on findings from questionnaires and interviews undertaken with students and reflective dialogues with the teacher, the benefits of incorporating reading workshop-style lessons were examined and compared with the traditional textbook-style lesson. The main finding is that reading self-selected books accompanied by teacher/student conferences nurtures good reading habits. Although this study indicates the importance of workshop-style lessons, it also highlights the benefits and importance of traditional textbook-style lessons. Finally, how to integrate them into the curriculum is discussed. (As Provided).
