本研究旨在确定英语在日本社会中的传播程度。它分析了大规模的基于网络面板的问卷调查数据，并使用偏差校正方法估计英语使用频率。结果表明，大多数被调查的英语使用类型的年平均使用频率低于5次，英语使用者所占比例低于20%，且这些频率因语言使用类型和工人属性而异。这些研究结果表明，在日本，英语的使用仅限于一小部分特定的工人。此外，英语产出技能的使用率不到10%，而英语接受技能和其他跨语言行为的使用率更高。基于这些发现，本研究从英语使用频率的角度探讨了英语在日本的传播规模。
This study sought to determine the extent to which English has spread in Japanese society. It analyses large‐scale web panel‐based questionnaire survey data and estimates English use frequency using a bias correction method. The results show that for most types of English use investigated, the average frequencies were less than five times a year, the proportions of English users were less than 20%, and these frequencies varied according to the type of language use and workers’ attributes. These findings suggest that English use in Japan is limited to a small specific group of workers. Furthermore, the use of English productive skills was shown to be less than 10%, whereas the use of English receptive skills and other cross‐linguistic behaviours were more common. Based on these findings, this study discusses the scale of the spread of English in Japan from the perspective of English use frequency.
