| Research Abstract |
Data was collected from a sample of 116 Chinese teachers of Japanese in China and a sample of 135 Japanese teachers of Japanese in Japan using the modified version of BALLI. Data collected from a sample of 594 Chinese learners of Japanese at Chinese universities was also analyzed in order to determine the difference in educational style between Japanese and Chinese teachers. It was concluded from the results that Chinese teachers as well as learners are 1) stricter in language education, 2) very conscious about the practicality and usefulness of speaking foreign languages and 3) have more confidence in mastering foreign languages. Japanese teachers are, on the other hand, 1) more relaxed in language teaching/learning, 2) see language classes as a part of general education, and 3) have less confidence in mastering foreign languages. The results also indicate that Chinese teachers' judgments about degree of difficulty on various aspects of foreign and/or Japanese language learning are different from those of Japanese teachers. These different perspectives seem to be very much influenced by the language-teaching environment since such differences between Chinese teachers and learners are much smaller than the differences between Chinese and Japanese teachers. The author strongly believes that the difference between the native and non-native teachers' attitude and opinions in Japanese language classes needs to be properly addressed since the number of JFL learners is steadily growing and cooperation between native and non-native teachers becomes increasingly necessary.
