  • 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.

  • DAIWA Earnings Analysis of Major Banks–I
    DAIWA DAIWA INSTITUTE OF RESEARCH LTD. 6 December 2007 (No of pages: 19) Earnings Analysis of Major Banks–I —1H FY07 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 1H FY07 parent real net business profit (total sum of group banks) edged down 2.6% y/y to Y1,614.8 billion. Domestic net interest income expanded, mainly thanks to improvement in loan-deposit interest rate spreads. Treasury operations apparently improved overall, helped by lower overseas interest rates. Meanwhile, slow growth in net fee/commission income and an increase in overhead weighed on profit. • However, the main factor dragging down profit was aggregate credit costs net of recoveries, which reached Y366.1 billion, reversing course net credit recoveries of Y244.9 booked a year earlier. A number of banks took a hit from earnings deterioration at group non-banks and higher income taxes due to the realization of deferred tax assets during the year-earlier period. This capped aggregate consolidated net income at Y947.9 billion, 45.4% below the 1H FY06 figure, which was the highest in history. However, solid profitability prompted some banks to resume or raise common dividends in 1H. • The BOJ did not raise interest rates in 1H, after having lifted the unsecured overnight call rate 0.25% twice in FY06. The bond market retreated in 1Q but began to rebound in 2Q. Meanwhile, global equity markets pulled back in response to the deepening subprime loan crisis in August, causing Japanese equities to plummet.
