| 内容記述 | This paper explores why English education in Japan remains relatively unsuccessful. Billions of yen are annually spent on teaching and learning it in formal and informal contexts, but few people become proficient. I argue that one reason for this is because of two competing but separate ideologies toward English language: Eigo [English language] and Eikaiwa [English conversation]. The paper first presents a historical overview of language education in Japan from the 1600s to the Meiji Era. During that period, the purpose of learning English was for practical and communicative purposes. From the 1900s, English came to be seen as a school subject used for gatekeeping purposes. Eigo, a method of instruction that is generally about English carried out in Japanese, became the standard teaching practice. The goal of such instruction was to help students answer obscure questions on entrance exams. For those who wanted to learn practical English (Eikaiwa), different instructional methods were necessary and students sought supplementary instruction at private institutions. From the late 1980s onward, most secondary schools have both Eigo and Eikaiwa (for practical communication) classes. However, Eigo classes are accorded higher academic status while Eikaiwa classes are to be easy and fun. The paper concludes with a call to merge the ideologies of Eigo and Eikaiwa in order for English to be taught as the language used and spoken by millions of people throughout the world. All language, not just that used for speaking, exists for communicative purposes, and instructional methods should reflect that. | |||||||
