| Research Abstract |
Short term student exchange programs(SEPs) in Japanese National Universities, whose language of instruction is English, have been attracting much attention in the global educational setting. The aim of this project was to investigate aspects of SEPs at various educational settings, with special focus on college level Japanese language insiruction.
The project consisted of two researches; one on SEPs at different educational settings, and the other on the Japanese language instruction of different SEPs. The former provides the information essential to the analysis of the latter.
In a general context for SEPs in Japan. one of the major pedagogical issues is how the Japanese language programs at the host universities can help exchange students maximize their study abroad experience. To address this issue, we must seek for the global standards for college level Japanese language instruction. In search for such standards, we conducted contrastive researches on the Japanese language programs in the North America, the Oceania and of SEPs in Japan. We launched a mailing list (tampro-j) to exchange information for those engaged in the Japanese language instruction at SEPs.
We investigated what the Japanese language programs at both ends can do jointly to realize continuity and integrity of exchange students' leaming experiences at all stages of their learning process, namely prior to, during and alter their participation in SEPs in Japan. We focused on the importance of creating an educational environment where teamwork linking can be made possible among Japanese teachers at both ends.
Analyzing the pedagogical implications of securing such global teamwork linking, we made a proposal for building a network among Japanese programs that would allow for the flexible exchange of information on exchange students' Japanese language learning experiences. This in turn will serve as a key to the global standards of college level Japanese language instruction.
