  • Examining gender and the Japanese female EFL learner: Connections of culture, silence, and power

    Much has been discussed concerning differences in foreign or second language learners that can be attributed to gender. Past research also provides evidence supporting the view that Japanese people come from a "silent" culture while Westerners come from cultures that value outspokenness and the assertion of individuality. Taken together, these two conditions would appear to disadvantage Japanese females learning English since they must compete against their more verbose male counterparts as well as enter a target linguistic culture that favors such verbosity. However, one may argue that the stereotypically "demure" Japanese female may actually be at an advantage in learning English due to previously underlying social, cultural, and gender concerns, and that her silence should not necessarily be considered a hindrance to language learning.

  • Are Japanese high school graduates really equipped for university language study? A call for research into the study habits of Japanese students studying English after matriculation to university

    It is common knowledge that high school students who study English in Japan engage in study habits that promote their passing of the university entrance examinations. These study habits include attending "juku" (cram schools) or other preparation classes outside of high school and involve the rote memorization of grammatical structures and the learning of test-taking techniques. What has yet to be researched is what happens to students' English language study habits after matriculation to university when their need for "juku"and the goal of passing the university entrance examination have gone. This paper presents information about what is known concerning Japanese high school students' study habits and asserts that these study habits are unsuitable for university study because of the change in student goals in this new learning environment. A call for research into Japanese university students' study habits is made so that language instructors may better equip students to deal with the new goals and activities presented to them from university life and from their university English courses and so that English language instructors at the university level will be more aware of the confusion Japanese university students may face in approaching the task of studying English.
