Outline of Final Research Achievements

The present research project addresses an overlooked issue of Japanese students’ transnational educational mobility across the West and ASEAN region at a time when studying (in) English in more than one context has become increasingly common and popular among East Asian learners of English. In addition to some encouraging results (e.g. ASEAN ESL educators’ professional identity), the study provides educational/scholarly implications such as: (1) Japanese students’ deep-rooted faith in ‘native’ ‘standard’ ‘real English’ remains intact even after their memorable sojourn experience in the ASEAN; (2) media discourses on English study abroad (e.g. Singaporeans all speaking Singlish) do not necessarily draw upon the existent applied linguistics scholarly knowledge.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

アセアン準英語圏における英語研修という選択肢が身近になった今、日本人英語学習者たちの英語観に変化(多様化)の兆しが見られたことは教育的に大きな意味にあると思われる。その一方で、アセアンでの満足すべき研修経験が「脱(欧米ネイティブ・本場の)英語志向」の切り札にはならない可能性が高いという結果が得られた。この結果を踏まえ、海外研修を奨励していく中で、アセアン研修(と欧米英語圏研修との)の位置づけを再検討していく必要性が明らかとなった。
