A Research on the Japanese Language Teaching of Koain during World War II

1.20世纪30年代，日语教学在国外发展起来。外交部或教育部下属领导的活动在全国扩张计划中被知晓。但Koain（1938年成立）的活动并不为人所知。由于有关Koain的日语教学活动的文件于1945年3月被销毁。通过这次研究，我找到了由已故的大岛君治先生所拥有的琴因日语教学的原始文件。利用这些文献资料，对日本人的日语教学活动进行了研究，得出以下结论：日本教研院的日语教学活动作为国家文化工作来华开展，并派遣日本教师（“新学教”、“新学修冈教士”）来华，总人数超过1000.5人。中国国家文化工作的目的是消除欧洲思想的影响，加强亚洲思想，特别是“日本思想”。“日本思想”是形成东亚集团的支撑。因此，日语被认为是最能传达“日本思想”的语言。“信那hakken Shukyoka Kyosi”被要求传播“日本思想”，以克服欧洲思想基督教，为此目的，他们教授日语。Koain在日语教师的培训课程中强调“日本心”的培养。这一方向影响了日本文部省的教育活动。但是，日本语言教育专家对“语言学作为一种外语教学方法”的重视程度存在争议，今后有必要继续对此进行研究。

1.In the 1930s, the Japanese Language Teaching progressed abroad. And the activities by leadership affiliated with Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Education Ministry were known with the national expansion plan.2.But the Koain's(1938 establishment) activities is not known well. Because of the documents about the Japanese Language Teaching activities of the Koain is destroyed at 1945.3.By this study, I found the original documents of Koain which possessed by the late Mr. Junji Ohsihma who had jurisdiction over the Japanese Language Teaching at Koain. I research the Japanese Language Teaching activities of the Koain with these documents, and draw a conclusion as following.4.The Japanese Language Teaching activities of the Koain was done as a country culture work to China and dispatched Japanese Teachers("Shins Haken Kyouin", "Shina Haken Shukyoka Kyosi") to China, and the sum total exceeded 1000.5.The purpose of the country culture work to China, called Tea Shin Titsujo Kensetu, was to remove the influence of European mind, and reinforces the Asian mind, especially "Japanese mind". "The Japanese mind" was a support to form East Asia block. Therefore the Japanese Language was made much of as means to transmit "Japanese mind" most.6."Shina Haken Shukyoka Kyosi" who were required to spread "Japanese mind" for to overcame Europe mind Christianity, for this purpose they taught Japanese Language.7.Koain put the emphasis on cultivate of the "Japanese mind" in the training course of the Japanese teacher. And this direction affected Japanese education activities of the Education Ministry. But, there is a tangle among Japanese Language Education experts making much of "linguistics, a foreign language teaching method", and it is necessary for this to continue a study in future.
