Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research project investigated Japanese university English teachers’ beliefs about their students and compared English L1 teachers (ETs) and Japanese L1 teachers (JTs). Questionnaire surveys (pilot and final) and interviews were conducted to explore their beliefs. The data indicated that there were differences in the perceptions of ETs and JTs about their students’ attitudes, abilities, motivations, and other areas. The research suggested that different targeted skills and class contents, and different roles that ETs and JTs take in their teaching contexts contributed to such differences. The role assignments in the dichotomous framework have a risk of reinforcing stereotypes. It is important to utilize individual teachers’ expert knowledge, abilities, and experiences, in order to provide effective learning programs.
