View Summary
This paper explores difficulties students may experience in giving opinions in class, drawing on data gleaned from the administration of questionnaires and interviews to Japanese and British students. The results show that the students from both groups regard highly of giving and exchanging opinions in class; however, there is a marked difference in their confidence in doing so, more Japanese students stating that they have difficulties even in their mother tongue situations than the British. The paper examines the background to these difficulties, drawing from detailed studies of the students' own accounts, comparing and contrasting them.
This article compares and contrasts the discourse of whaling in British and Japanese newspaper reports. It investigates the ways in which pro- and anti-whaling discourses are formulated in the press by examining, in particular, the following features: (1) the use of specific lexis and syntactic structures, (2) the use of rhetorical devices, and (3) the control and organization of information at a discourse level. The article claims that British and Japanese news reports use very different strategies in expressing their anti- and pro- whaling stances; the former tend to use a more emotive and provocative tone, whereas the latter use a more restrained and factual tone. The article also claims that the issue of whaling tends to be discussed under different cultural assumptions and values in the respective discourses; and thus, suggests the possibility that readers may be influenced by the cumulative effects of these different discourses.
This paper highlights how interruptions are used within the system of turn-taking, referring to the rules of turn-taking set out by Sacks et al. (1974), and classifying the kinds of interruption used by conversational participants. I classify interruption into two main types: co-operative and intrusive. Intrusive interruption is further divided into three types: topic-changing, floor-taking, and disagreement interruptions. The occurrence of these different types of interruption is examined in the data from three different interactions; NSE-NSE (Native Speakers of English), NSJ-NSJ (Native Speakers of Japanese), and NSE-JSE (Japanese Speakers of English) interactions. It is noted that the frequency of the use of the different types of interruption varies across cultures. Furthermore, this paper discusses interruption from the perspective of the sociocultural values attached to its use.

View Summary
The contribution of the current research is classfied into the following three:① the deepening of understanding of the concept of English as a lingua franca (ELF) ② detailed description and understanding of the use of ELF in actual situations and ③ heightening awareness of the use of ELF and impliacations for language pedagogy. The first has been mainly achieved by holding various workshops and publishing working papers based on them. The second has been made possible by collecting and analysing various types of data from diverse ELF users in their use of ELF and by showing how cooperatively and successfully they achieve their communicative needs. Thirdly, disseminating these results and their implications by way of conference presentations and publications has contributed to heightening the awarness of people about ELF and to furthering pedagogical implications
The development of international cyber courses to foster International Liberal Arts, and expressive power in English with on-demand Internet courses
View Summary
We have developed cross-cultural distance learning courses based on the notion of International Liberal Arts. Our research efforts established 90 on-demand courses which deal with our current issues in the world : climate change, politics and metaphors, safety of food, Asian Identity, gender issues, co-existence in Asia, etc. We have established our teaching methods on successfuldiscussion in English and how to write persuasive discourse in English, especially for Japanese learners of English at the university level. These methods were reported in CCDL Research Reports (CD-ROM) in five volumes as well as CCDL Teachers' Manual and Case studies (2006). Annually, we held International Student Seminars among Asian users of English and we held the seminars recently twice a year in which our students demonstrated the merits of our educational approaches. These activities were financially assisted by Digital Campus Consortium which was initiated by Waseda University and which has been supported by major industries in Japan.The recommended cyber courses includes the following class-room procedures : (1) the students in Asia study on-demand course materials, (2) they write their comments and questions in English on BBS, (3) our mentors who were trained as interns help the learners understand lecture contents distributed via the Internet, (4) they discuss a given topic on International Liberal arts, using ICT (video-conferencing system and oral chatting system) and (5) the students reflect their progress concerning the on-demand contents and their expressive power in English, by reviewing DVDs which were recorded during their cyber sessions.We have also tried to show research evidence about our teaching methods, by looking into how to test their progress in oral English, how to evaluate their progress in writing, and how to deal with individual differences such as learning styles, learning strategies, learning preferences, class-room anxiety, speech anxiety and motivations. The oral test of English for the sake of Asian users of English includes word-per minutes, the frequency and length of pauses, type-token ratio, vocabulary levels, inter-stress time intervals and acoustic measurements. This is going to be developed as an automatic assessment system. We have also established automatic assessment of Individual Differences as an additional outcome of our research efforts
A Comparative Study of English and Japanese News Discourse - A Cross-Cultural Perspective
View Summary
This paper reports the result of research entitled 'A Comparative Study of English and Japanese New Discourse - A Cross-Cultural Perspective', which was conducted with the support of the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (No.15520374) in the academic years 2003-4. It investigated English and Japanese newspaper discourse from the perspective of cross-cultural communication and understanding. In so doing, the paper focused specifically on the topic of whaling, which is culturally loaded and thus relevant to the purpose of the investigation.After a general introduction to the research in Chapter 1,Chapter 2 discusses theoretical backgrounds to the study, including Critical Discourse Analysis(CDA), which is currently very influential in the analysis of news discourse. Chapter 3 introduces actual analyses of two types of discourse; firstly, Chapter 3.1 compares and contrasts news editorials on whaling in both British and Japanese newspapers and claims that editors in the respective newspapers utilize very different strategies to persuade readers for different causes. Chapter 3.2 analyses two different types of discourse on whaling and cod-fishing in a British newspaper and reports that the treatment of the topics is drastically different depending on whether they are closely related to the country's culture and economy. Chapter 4 introduces the results of two types of questionnaires which were conducted to investigate, firstly, the perception of news editorials by readers with differing cultural assumptions and knowledge on a specific topic (4.1), and secondly, how different cultural assumptions and prior knowledge on a topic affect readers' interpretations of a text (4.2). The results have shown a clear connection between the two. Chapter 5 summarizes the study and discusses its implications for language pedagogy. The paper concludes with suggestions for further investigation
Exploring the Development of Studies's Ability for Self-expression with Reference to the Case of the Education in the United Kingdom
View Summary
The purpose of this study is to explore how education in the United Kingdom (UK) places emphasis on and encourages the development of the ability to express themselves in class and to then consider the implications of these findings for language education in Japan. We thought it an urgent necessity for Japanese students to improve this ability in the globalizing world.The results of this research are as follows.1. Through the research, it has been found that various attempts have been made by teachers at schools in Japan to improve students' self-expression ability, but they are on an individual or school basis. On the other hand, in the UK, students' self-expression ability has been nurtured through classroom interaction, positive engagement in discussion, creative tasks such as drama, and grappling with tasks that have no right answer.2. In terms of the development of speaking ability in Japan, the Course of Study for Japanese language takes a step-by-step approach considering students' developmental stage. On the other hand, the National Curriculum in the UK set up a very ambitious goal to equip pupils (5-7 years old) with basic speech skills such as speech organization and attention-getting from audience.3. From the analysis of interviews with students, it has been found that 8-year-old students in the UK use effective communication strategies such as adjacency pair, clarification request, intertextuality, and deductive response patterns. Comparison between 12-year-old Japanese and British students shows that their response patterns can be both deductive and inductive depending on the content of questions. It has been found, however, that Japanese students tend to follow more inductive patterns than British students.These are the results of our three-year research project. We plan to continue to conduct further research in this important field
Regeneration of news studies in the age of globalization
View Summary
This research pays particular attention to political reality that presented through the relationship between television news and its audience. It examines three sides, the actual condition of media using, the characteristic of news text of television, and citizen's political consciousness. In doing so, it assesses that television still influences political judgment of citizens in increase of using time of internet. And the author insists that news text which is constructed of multimodality mode sometimes plays the role of producing "fear" and "affection" of audience. It is difficult for citizen to deliberate various issues in such a media environment
Comparative Studies of Language Education Process in the UK and Japan in Terms of Thinking, Self-expression, and Problem-solving Ability
View Summary
This study analyses how student thinking and self-expression are encouraged in some British and Japanese classrooms. It also goes on to examine how entrance examinations influence language education, and a case study of a"body-expression"workshop conducted in the U. K. by a professional dancer. The findings indicate that there is a strong need for language education in Japan to play a role in helping students think and express themselves in a positive way, in order to deal with various social problems
An Investigation into Gender Bias in the Media and Its Critical Analysis : A contribution towards the realization of equal participation by women and men in society
View Summary
This research has investigated gendered discourses at home and in the media in order to promote gender equal participation at home and work and as a result also to help solve the problem of the low birth rate. The result of the investigation has clearly shown that there still exist hidden assumptions about gender fixed roles in the media and family discourses. To raise awareness in these hidden unconscious gender-biased assumptions, the researcher has presented the results at international conferences, sent an article to a newspaper and an academic paper to an international journal, and is currently preparing a couple more academic papers to be published
