It is true that English is generally the language that is used for much of this interaction. However it would be folly for any nation to believe that that language alone would be suffice. For nations to work together, mutual understanding and respect is an obvious essential. To ensure this eventuation, an emphasis on the study of foreign languages, and coessentially the cultures of said languages, is imperative. Australia’s geo-political situation and its history of immigration lend themselves easily to fostering these attributes. Japan on the other hand, has an urgent need for them but, recently, has lacked the ability to incorporate the necessary pedagogy. This paper will look at some of Australia’s policies as well as language pedagogy and compare them to Japan’s. It will offer a number of ideas that could be incorporated into language policy and pedagogy in Japan., 特集 海外の語学教育事情}, pages = {35--42}, title = {The study of foreign languages in Australia: some ideas to incorporate into English policy and pedagogy in Japan}, volume = {6}, year = {2008} }
