520 |a Language education is a highly contested arena within any nation and one that arouses an array of sentiments and identity conflicts. What languages, or what varieties of a language, are to be taught and learned, and how? By whom, for whom, for what purposes and in what contexts? Such questions concern not only policy makers but also teachers, parents, students, as well as businesspeople, politicians, and other social actors. For Japan, a nation state with ideologies of national identity strongly tied to language, these issues have long been of particular concern. This volume presents the cacophony of voices in the field of language education in contemporary Japan, with its focus on English language education. It explores the complex and intricate relationships between the ℓ́ℓlocalℓ́ℓ and the ℓ́ℓglobal, ℓ́ℓ and more specifically the links between the levels of policy, educational institutions, classrooms, and the individual. In the much-contested field of foreign language teaching in Japan, this book takes the reader directly to the places that really matter. With the help of expert guides in the fields of anthropology, sociology and linguistics, we are invited to join a vital discussion about the potentially revolutionary implications of the Japanese governmentℓ́ℓs policy of teaching Japanese citizens to not only passively engage with written English texts but to actually use English as a means of global communication.ℓ́ℓ ℓ́ℓ Robert Aspinall, PhD (Oxford), Professor, Faculty of Economics, Department of Social Systems, Shiga University, Japan This insightful book about language education involves different disciplines using ethnographic methods. Both ℓ́ℓnativeℓ́ℓ and ℓ́ℓnon-nativeℓ́ℓ speakers of Japanese (or English) collaboratively examine two different types of qualitative approaches in Japan ℓ́ℓ the positivistic and the processual. This is a must-have book for researchers and educators of language who are interested in not only Japan but also language education generally.ℓ́ℓ ℓ́ℓ Shinji Sato, PhD (Columbia), Director of the Japanese Language Program, Department of East Asian Studies, Princeton University, USA.
