| 520 | |a "This book seeks a better understanding of sociocultural and ideological factors that influence English study in Japan and study-abroad contexts. The discussion is based not only on learners' and educators' voices but also on English language policies and commercial magazines that rest on their own representation of 'Japanese learners of English'. The book addresses seemingly incompatible yet theoretically rational findings on Japanese learners of English: (i) native English preference in at-home Japanese EFL contexts vs. Asian-Asian solidary in western study-abroad contexts; (ii) Japanese college women's dream of using English for career vs. Japanese working women's English study for self-enrichment, (iii) Japanese society's obsession with globalization through English study vs. Japanese economy sustained by monolingual Japanese businessmen, (iv) native English teachers' resistance against Japan's ELT vs. non-English teachers' resistance against ELT dominance. The final chapter provides an image of learners affected by the chain reaction of national changes: student population decline, the economy's and universities' survival crisis, and increased official pressure on humanities departments to offer more English-medium courses in contents of national interest."--Provided by publisher. | ||
