项目摘要

Despite the accusations of English imperialism, "English as a Global Language" is popular around the world. As such globalization of English continues, more countries are using English as an internationalization strategy for higher education and for education in general.This study examined issues of internationalization, globalization, ethnicity, nationalism, domination, and the role of English from an interdisciplinary viewpoint.The beginning of the series of projects that this study is a part of, first started a decade ago when the University of Tokyo, in 1994, following Kyushu University, became the second national university in Japan to erect a special short-term exchange program in the social sciences and humanities that consisted of lectures in English. The establishment of such programs in the 1990s in national universities, however, opened up many questions as it also created new possibilities of internationalization. Some of the core members of this project were among the foun … More ding members of such programs, and experienced the turmoil. The answers to the questions raised, were no where clear-cut. Both the debates for (e.g., English is the international language, it will allow students from different linguistic languages to study in Japan) and against (e.g., English is the language of neo-colonialism, it overburdens faculty) the use of English ran from the highly ideological, to the practical.Such language issues touch at the heart of what English means in our highly globalized world. Language is a means of communication, but it is not just a tool of interaction. It is bound to the culture of a people, it can also be used as a means of domination, or exclusion, as well as inclusion, as the history of colonization well shows. The dilemma Japan, as a country where English is not the native language, faces in a world where English has become the common language in international politics, economy, and in science, is one which is shared in many variations by non-English speaking countries around the world.This study brought together scholars from different disciplines to examine English in relation to such issues of internationalization/globalization, ethnicity, nationalism, and equity. The attempt was made to lay out the macro issues related to the spread of English (Ryoko Tsuneyoshi), and to examine symbolic examples of its usage in various countries. The case studies included the examination of Japanese higher education lectures using English as a medium of instruction, especially those related to study abroad programs as described above (Atsuko Kondo, Chika Maruyama, and Tsutomu Nomizu), and English activities in Japanese elementary schools (Ryoko Tsuneyoshi). A survey of faculty in three national universities was conducted to investigate their attitudes towards using English as a medium of instruction and to examine latent assumptions. Examples from South East Asia, especially Singapore (Ho Wah Kam) and Mayalsia (Rosnani Hashim) were examined, inviting foreign guests for an international symposium. Field research was conducted on case studies of Korea (Toru Umakoshi), also a country which uses a minority language. Field research was also conducted for the multi-linguistic experiment in the EU (Kunihisa Izumi). Less

尽管有英语帝国主义的指责，但“英语作为全球语言”在世界各地都很受欢迎。随着英语全球化的发展，越来越多的国家将英语作为高等教育乃至教育的国际化战略。本研究从跨学科的角度探讨了国际化、全球化、民族性、民族主义、支配性、英语的作用等问题。本研究是一系列课题的开端，最初是10年前东京大学的一个研究项目，在2000年开始，在2001年开始，在2002年开始，在2003年开始，在2004年开始，在2005年开始，在2005年开始，在2005年开始，在2005年开始，在2006年开始，在2007年开始，在2007年开始，在2008年开始，在2008年开始，在2008年开始，在2009年开始，在2008年开始，在2008年开始，在2009年开始，在2010年开始，在2010年开始，在2010年1994年，继九州大学之后，成为日本第二所设立社会科学和人文科学特别短期交流项目的国立大学，该项目包括英语讲座。然而，1990年代在国立大学设立的这类课程带来了许多问题，因为它也创造了国际化的新可能性。该项目的一些核心成员是基金会成员之一。 ...更多信息丁成员这样的节目，并经历了动荡。对所提出的问题的答案并不明确。这两个辩论（例如，英语是国际语言，它将允许来自不同语言的学生在日本学习）和反对（例如，英语是新殖民主义的语言，它使教师不堪重负。英语的使用从高度意识形态到实用。这些语言问题触及英语在我们高度全球化的世界中的意义。语言是一种交流的手段，但它不仅仅是一种互动的工具。它与一个民族的文化密不可分，它也可以被用作统治或排斥以及包容的手段，正如殖民化历史所充分表明的那样。在英语成为国际政治、经济、科学的通用语的今天，作为非英语国家的日本所面临的困境，也是世界上非英语国家所面临的困境。本研究汇集了来自不同学科的学者，从国际化/全球化、民族主义、民族主义等方面对英语进行了研究，并对英语与日本的关系进行了分析。和公平。本书试图阐述与英语传播有关的宏观问题（常吉良子），并考察英语在各国使用的象征性例子。案例研究包括对日本高等教育中使用英语作为教学语言的讲座的检查，特别是与上述留学项目有关的讲座（近藤敦子，丸山千香和野水努），以及日本小学的英语活动（常吉良子）。本研究以三所国立大学的教师为对象，调查他们对使用英语作为教学语言的态度，并探讨潜在的假设。来自东南亚，特别是新加坡（Ho Wah Kam）和Mayalsia（Rosnani Hashim）的例子进行了研究，邀请外国客人参加国际研讨会。对韩国（Toru Umakoshi）的案例研究进行了实地研究，韩国也是一个使用少数民族语言的国家。还为欧盟的多语言实验（Kunihisa Izumi）进行了实地研究。少
