Teaching practice is an essential subject in the course of TJFL (Teaching Japanese as a Foreign Language). However, the content of Teaching practice is not specified yet. This paper suggests the introduction of culture-topic modules which integrate direct methods with culture in the teaching practice in New Zealand to improve the quality and effectiveness of classroom time. A culture-based vocaburary arises from the culture-topic modules, and appropriate selection of culture words to make use of the modules is discussed. This study tries to show one of the possibilities for practice teaching in courses of TJFL at the universities.
