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.
