  • 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.

  • An English Market in Japan: a Brief Psychology and History of Big Four Development
    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.

From the site chair Welcome to the Language Education and Research Center (LERC) at Kyushu Sangyo University. Our curriculum cen- ters on a two-year compulsory English language program that serves 5,500 students in seven university departments. E-learning forms a crucial component of this program, with over 650 online activities developed in-house by LERC facul- ty. Recent initiatives have explored the use of tablet devices for the purpose of supporting a flipped classroom approach, and also as a tool for measuring student perceptions. Thus, we always seek to make use of technology in a manner that enhances both autonomy support and student accountabil- ity – never technology for technology’s sake. We sincerely hope you find the LERC facilities to be com- fortable and conducive for learning over these three days. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask at any time. H. Nicholas Bovee Site Chair 2 Welcome! From the conference co-chairs Welcome to the 22nd Annual JALTCALL SIG Conference at Kyushu Sangyo University!
