この度は「第 3 回 JAAL-in-JACET(日本応用言語学会)学術交流集会」にご参集いただきまして,ありがと うございます。 2020 年はコロナにより,オリンピックの延期をはじめ,大変な年となりました。今年 8 月に同 志社大学で開催されるはずだった第 59 回国際大会(京都、2020)も中止を余儀なくされました。本 JAAL-in- JACET(日本応用言語学会)学術交流集会の開催についても,様々な検討を経て,オンラインでの開催という形 になりました。対面での交流がいまだ難しい現状においても,英語教育,応用言語学研究の発展を止めないため に,会員や研究会,学会の壁を超えた交流の場は重要です。JACET は,来年 2021 年に第 60 回記念国際大会(広 島、2021)を控えております。この記念大会は JACET の伝統となっているサマーセミナーとジョイントした 「JACET 創立 60 周年記念ウィーク」として,その準備にとりかかっております。この大きなイベントの成功に 向けて,本学術交流集会は,その重要な第一歩という位置づけです。参加者のみなさまの健康を守ることはもち ろん,ウイズコロナ時代の新しい学会様式の在り方をともに形作っていければと考えております。 最後に,本「第 3 回 JAAL-in-JACET 学術交流集会」の運営委員をご紹介いたします。 -------------------------- ・学術交流集会会長:小田眞幸(玉川大学) ・担当理事:田地野彰(名古屋外国語大学),内藤永(北海学園大学),渡辺敦子(文教大学),相川真佐夫(京都 外国語大学) ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

an Elective CLIL-based Course: Effects and Implications Hatakeyama, Yukako (Ochanomizu U.) This presentation reports how a presenter’s elective CLIL-based course in a university has been modified from the previous year in the academic year 2019. There were 15 lessons in this course, and the class consisted of 18 first-to-third-year students whose English proficiency ranged from intermediate to near-native. In this 15-week course, students did homework every week, wrote two short reaction papers, and gave two presentations (group and individual). Based on student feedback and the reflection from the academic year 2018, three main revisions were made. First, the number of umbrella themes has been reduced from two to one: Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This change allowed the class to go more in-depth on some topics and added more flexibility in lessons. Second, the efforts were made to reduce weekly homework. For example, the number and length of assigned texts and listening materials were reduced. Besides, ways to reduce the workload of students were sought. Third, more activities to stimulate students’ higher-order thinking skills (HOTS), described in the revision of Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives (Krathwohl & Anderson, 2001), were introduced. Questions in the homework and in the class had been modified to include such skills as comparing, analyzing, evaluating, and creating. Moreover, a new project has been introduced to the course. In this project, student groups were supposed to not only share what they researched to the class but also facilitate the group and class discussions within a 60-minute time frame. The remaining 30 minutes were devoted to a feedback session. This change has provided more active-learning opportunities and given students autonomy and responsibility. Student work, as well as their reflections on group projects, will be shared to discuss the implications of this change. 10:00-10:25 Liven up the English Classroom With Academic Learning: Examples From Cognitive Psychology Ishikawa, Tomokazu (Tamagawa U.) Widely marketed university coursebooks of English for (general) Academic Purposes or EAP largely avoid proactive topics, commonly known as PARSNIP, which are politics, alcohol, religion, sex, narcotics, isms (e.g., communism), and pornography or pork (Gray, 2000; Galloway, 2018). Activities in these ‘uncontroversial’ textbooks can be too insipid to motivate students to learn. It is not the presenter’s intension to encourage fellow English instructors to discuss PARSNIP in their classrooms. Instead, he suggests introducing academic content beyond general topics. More specifically, he suggests moving from EAP (i.e., language) towards English Medium Instruction or EMI (i.e., academic content) in reference to Airey’s (2016) language-content continuum. Given that Japanese students educated in Japan tend to take EMI as the opportunity to learn language (Murata & Iino, 2018), EMI has the potential to promote more active and purposeful language use through stimulating and engaging content. To this effect, the presenter demonstrates how to incorporate academic learning into English language teaching at the university level by making links of textbook vocabulary and expressions with classical topics in cognitive psychology: the selective attention test (Simons & Chabris, 1999), representative and availability heuristics (Kahneman & Tversky, 1972; Tversky & Kahneman, 1973), Wason’s (1966) four card problem, the missionaries and cannibals problem (Simon & Reed, 1976), and change blindness (Simons & Levin, 1998). These topics highlight the human tendencies to pick up

  • Commodity, Capital, and Commercial ELT: a Political Economy of Eikaiwa English Language Teaching
    Commodity, Capital, and Commercial ELT: A Political Economy of Eikaiwa English Language Teaching Doctoral Thesis William Simpson IOE – UCL (Applied Linguistics) Word Count: 95,882 1 Signed Declaration: I, William Simpson, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract: The aims of this research are threefold. Firstly, to understand how the drive for profit in commercial English language teaching (ELT) affects the manner in which language is taught. Secondly, to understand the how the various ways in which teachers are valued (monetarily in wages, valued as a ‘good’ teacher, and valued as an ‘authentic’ speaker of a language for example) interrelate with one another. Finally, the research aims to give an account of how teachers’ experiences of potential contradictions and tensions between commercial and pedagogic interests, and multiple forms of valuation, inform the way they understand themselves in relation to the economy and society more broadly. The research synthesises a body of research on political economy and language with Marxist political economy in order to understand commercial ELT through the moments of capital as value in motion: from the production and consumption of lessons, to the realisation of the lesson’s value in its sale, through to the distribution of this value in the form of wages. In focussing in on these moments throughout the circulation of capital, the research gives an account of the contradictory forces and interests at play within commercial eikaiwa – a form of ELT in Japan in which teachers are often precariously employed.

  • Clean Planet Inc. Quantum Hydrogen Energy (QHE)
    A unicorn company contributing to the future Clean Planet Inc. May 19, 2021 Special Corporate Report: Developing “Quantum Hydrogen Energy”, a future energy for the earth Hideki Yoshino, the founder and president of Clean Planet Inc., established the company in 2012 with the aim of developing clean energy for the future society after the natural disasters caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake and the secondary damage caused by the nuclear power plant. In 2015, in collaboration with an industry-university research team led by Professor Yasuhiro Iwamura of Tohoku University, the company established a joint research division to create quantum hydrogen energy, a clean energy source. In Japan, the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO)’s advanced research program for energy and environmental technologies (FY2015 to FY2017) has conducted demonstration work on the basic technology for quantum hydrogen energy, and it was well-received. Overseas, competition for the development of quantum hydrogen energy is intensifying around the world, especially in Europe and the United States, and major companies representing various industries have recently begun to enter the race to develop quantum hydrogen energy. In this context, the company has been attracting attention as a world-leading developer of quantum hydrogen energy. Currently, the company is expanding from the stage of empirical research of basic technologies to the stage of starting practical experiments in collaboration with leading companies in various industries. At present, the company has applied for 17 families of patents, and is gradually expanding its business in Japan and 16 countries, and has received 6 patent decisions in Japan and 20 overseas so far.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by KANAGAWA University Repository Article An English Market in Japan: A Brief Psychology and History of Big Four Development Theron E. Fairchild Abstract The Big Four, in corporate English school history in Japan, set the standards for language communication as a commodity, as well as drove and dominated a market that annually generated billions in Japanese yen and reached hundreds of thousands in student-customers. The paper addresses the historical rise, decline, and resiliency of this industry, from the perspectives of management, marketing, and its underlying consumer psychology. The paper begins with critiques on the Japanese system of English education and the need for communicative training, followed by recent research from social, educational, and language psychology, as well as neuroscience, which collectively support why the need for such communication was desired in Japan. The paper next explores how that desire was commodified and marketed, how the student became a customer, and how the role of teacher became a sales asset. The focus on the Big Four schools presents a brief history of how two of them survived, how two failed, and how the market for private English has changed, from its rocketing beginning during the Japanese bubble economy of the 1980s, through the changes and downturns that occurred up to the present. keywords: EFL history, eikaiwa, English conversation school, English in Japan, English language business, English school history, language learning market Introduction In February 2006, the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry was reporting 826,000 enrollments in private English-conversation (eikaiwa: 英 会 話 ) schools in Japan, generating a monthly sales figure for the industry of ¥17.2 billion (apx.

  • DAIWA Earnings Analysis of Major Banks–I
    DAIWA DAIWA INSTITUTE OF RESEARCH LTD. 4 June 2007 (No of pages: 18) Earnings Analysis of Major Banks–I —FY06 Earnings Summary and Operating Environment— (Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp is affiliated with Daiwa Securities SMBC. See disclaimer below.) Equity Research Dept Akira Takai • Major banks’ aggregate FY06 real net business profit on a parent basis (total sum of their group banks) declined 9.5% y/y to Y3,451.8 billion. Mainstay lending operations fell short of the bank projections in terms of both volume and spread, while a rise in interest rates eroded treasury income in domestic and foreign operations. Additionally, non-personnel costs significantly lifted overhead above the year- earlier level, weighing on profit. • Aggregate credit costs net of recoveries reached only Y167.3 billion, as credit costs for newly-emerged non-performing assets tended to be low, except for those related to some non-banks, and banks continued to record loan-loss reserve releases and write-off recoveries. A number of banks also continued to see lower income tax payments, a benefit of deferred tax assets. As a result, aggregate consolidated net income hit Y2,824.8 billion, the second-highest level in history, despite dropping 9.5% below the year-earlier level. Establishment of solid profitability in recent years prompted the majority of major banks to raise common dividends in FY06. • At its 21 February monetary policy meeting, the BOJ lifted the unsecured overnight call rate to 0.50%, the second hike since 14 July, when the BOJ rescinded its zero interest-rate policy and lifted the call rate to 0.25%.
