Comparative Studies of Language Education Process in the UK and Japan in Terms of Thinking, Self-expression, and Problem-solving Ability

本研究分析了一些英国和日本的课堂是如何鼓励学生思考和自我表达的。它还继续研究入学考试如何影响语言教育，并以一位专业舞者在英国举办的“身体表达”研讨会为例进行了研究。研究结果表明，日本非常需要语言教育发挥作用，帮助学生以积极的方式思考和表达自己，以应对各种社会问题。

This study analyses how student thinking and self-expression are encouraged in some British and Japanese classrooms. It also goes on to examine how entrance examinations influence language education, and a case study of a"body-expression"workshop conducted in the U. K. by a professional dancer. The findings indicate that there is a strong need for language education in Japan to play a role in helping students think and express themselves in a positive way, in order to deal with various social problems.
