许多日本高等教育机构的可持续性依赖于大量外国人的注入。这需要解决国际化的跨文化层面。在这篇文章中，作者对比了在日本的国际化文学（kokusaika）与国际化的盎格鲁-欧洲话语，并强调在日本的背景下给予跨文化层面的关注有限。作者研究了如何限制外国英语教师的专业情况似乎抑制了促进相互的跨文化理解的机会的产生。作者讨论了如何使用这些教师的隐喻结构，如uchi/soto和omote/ura，他们的经验框架在日本高等教育背景下提供概念上强大的工具，考虑在日本高等教育背景下的国际化。作者最后认为，强调差异和他者概念的隐喻是有问题的，因为它们为解决日本背景下国际化的跨文化方面带来了挑战。
The sustainability of many Japanese institutions of higher education is dependent on the injection of large numbers of foreigners. This requires addressing the intercultural dimensions of internationalisation. In this article, the authors contrast the literature on internationalisation in Japan (kokusaika) with the Anglo-European discourse on internationalisation and highlight the limited attention given to intercultural dimensions in the Japanese context. The authors examine how the constrained professional situation of foreign English teachers seems to inhibit the generation of opportunities for promoting reciprocal intercultural understanding. The authors discuss how these teachers’ use of metaphorical constructs, such as uchi/soto and omote/ura, to frame their experience in the Japanese higher education context provide conceptually powerful tools with which to consider internationalisation in the Japanese higher education context. The authors conclude by arguing that metaphors that stress notions of difference and otherness are problematic as they create challenges for addressing the intercultural aspects of internationalisation in the Japanese context.
