  • Style Shifting and Social Network Development During Education Abroad Programs in Japan Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfil
    Style Shifting and Social Network Development during Education Abroad Programs in Japan Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Hiromi Tobaru Graduate Program in East Asian Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee Dr. Mari Noda, Advisor Dr. Xiaobin Jian Dr. Mineharu Nakayama Dr. Charles J. Quinn Copyrighted by Hiromi Tobaru 2019 ii Abstract This dissertation explores ways that home institutions —educational institutions that send their students to affiliated universities— can provide pedagogical support to maximize the learning experience of U.S. undergraduate students during yearlong education abroad (EdA) programs in Japan. The results of this dissertation suggest several features that are key to pre- EdA training. The most crucial is repeated experiential practice on inter-personal negotiations toward co-constructing a meaningful Third Space1 (Jian & Walker, 2017) that entails raising sensitivity to style-shifting strategies. Group, rather than individualized, format better maximizes the opportunities for negotiation. Also useful would be opportunities to hear the experience of students who have just returned from a yearlong EdA in Japan, focusing on their experience (or lack) of network building. The need for repeated practice entails that training occurs over a duration of time, such as a semester. The first phase of this research examined difficulties in building intercultural relationships that American students and local Japanese students experience in a short-term EdA program in Japan. Data collected through interviews and observation suggest that the two groups have gaps in their expectations about speech style when interacting with each other.

  • Conrad Totman Papers, 1800-2005 (Bulk 1948-2005
    Special Collections and University Archives : University Libraries Conrad Totman Papers 1800-2008 (Bulk: 1948-2005) 65 boxes (53 linear ft.) Call no.: MS 447 Collection overview A scholar of the history and culture of early modern Japan, Conrad Totman began his career as a student of ornamental horticulture at the University of Massachusetts. After graduation in 1953, Totman served in the army for three years in South Korea where got his first taste of Japanese culture during leave. His experiences in Japan piqued his scholarly interest, and upon his return to the states with his new wife Michiko, he finished college at UMass and did his graduate work at Harvard where he received a doctorate in 1964 for a study of politics during the Tokugawa period. Totman held academic positions at UC Santa Barbara, Northwestern, and Yale before retiring in 1997. The bulk of the collection documents Professor Totman's education and professional work as a scholar and teacher of Japanese history. Dispersed throughout is a treasure trove of information on Japan in general, and particularly on his specialties: early modern Japan and forestry and environmental management. An enormous, highly influential, and cherished part of Totman's life is his family, and the Totman clan is well represented in this collection. Reams of genealogical material document the rich heritage of the Totman family, including the transcribed love letters and diaries of his paternal grandmother and biographies of Totman ancestors, as well as hundreds of letters written between Michiko and her family in Japan. Background on Conrad D. Totman On a wintry 5th of January, 1934, Conrad Davis Totman was born in an upstairs bedroom of the family farmhouse in Conway, Massachusetts.

  • 100Questions for Trading with Japan
    x 100 Questions for Trading with Japan April 2014 ASEAN PROMOTION CENTRE ON TRADE, INVESTMENT AND TOURISM Under the activity of ASEAN-Japan Centre in FY2013, this book was translated from Japanese into English based on the book “100 Questions for Trading with Japan” issued by Manufactured Imports and Investment Promotion Organization (MIPRO). This material has been prepared based on the information collected in the summer of 2012. The contents might be changed due to the amendments of laws etc., for details, please contact to the address at the end of the book for further information. Preface The ASEAN-Japan Centre is pleased to introduce the book “100 Questions for Trading with Japan” and expresses our gratitude to the Manufactured Imports and Investment Promotion Organization (MIPRO) for sharing this invaluable book which was designed to serve Japanese importers and foreign exporters. This book is written in a question-and-answer form covering the rules and regulations, which govern operations such as customs procedures, foreign payments, etc. Further, the book also takes into account various business sectors, which are of great attention to foreign exporters towards the Japanese market. This may serve as a useful tool for stakeholders from ASEAN member states who wish to export their products into Japan. Since the content of the book was originally designed in Japanese language for Japanese companies, however, readers who are foreigners outside Japan may sometimes “get a feeling” of touching a regulation/instruction/advice for a Japanese entity. For example, a popular phrase “please contact the relevant authority in the nearest prefecture/city where your office is located for further details” is really for a Japanese businessperson rather than for a foreign one.
