Research of culture stereotypes of foreign students and its practical applications by teachers -Discourse Analysis of Journal writings

对于学习日语的人来说，离开文化刻板印象是很重要的。学习者能否成功地摒弃这些文化刻板印象，取决于他们的日语老师。但是，我们还没有发现，日语教师或志愿者对文化刻板印象有什么样的理解，他们是如何应对的，尽管他们对学习者有很大的影响。为此，我们进行了以下四种类型的研究：1、留学生期刊写作中的人际言语行为分析；2、跨文化教育课堂中减少文化刻板印象的行动研究；3、日本学生文化刻板印象的语篇分析；4、日本教师和志愿者文化刻板印象意识的问卷调查。并在本研究过程中提出了关于文化刻板印象的知觉和自我控制的几个假设。根据我们的研究结果，我们建议引入该计划以减少对教师的文化刻板印象，这是当务之急。

It is important for the learners of Japanese to leave culture stereotypes. How successfully the learners can discard these culture stereotypes, depends on their teachers of Japanese. But we have not yet found, what kinds of understanding of culture stereotypes teachers of Japanese or volunteers have and how they deal with them, though they have great influence on the learners. So we have made following four types of research.1 Analysis of interpersonal speech behavior that can be seen in foreign student's journal writings2 Action research in the classrooms of intercultural education for the purpose of reduction of culture stereotypes3 Discourse analysis of cultural stereotypes of Japanese students4 Questionnaire survey of awareness of cultural stereotypes on teachers of Japanese and volunteersAs the results of these works, the actual conditions of culture stereotypes in teachers of Japanese and volunteers have been revealed. And several hypotheses regarding perception and self-control of cultural stereotypes were developed in the course of this study. On the basis of the results of our researches, we suggest that the introduction of the program to reduce cultural stereotypes for teachers should be a pressing need.
