An Ethnographic Research on the Foreign Learner's Acquisition Process of Japanese Language in Non-classroom Settings

在三年的研究过程中，我们学到的东西可以归纳如下：1.我们所研究的亚洲妇女的日语教学，在大多数情况下，具有先天的同化和压抑的性质，并可能起到塑造他们成为经常创造的假日本人角色的作用。2.在当地日本志愿者组织的一些支持活动中，我们发现一些成功地帮助亚洲妇女在当地社区获得了“声音”。3.在两种方法中，即日语教学和帮助获得声音的运动，采取哪一种方法，已经成为社区的一个问题。在这三年中，作为研究对象的pep1e使研究者重新审视了研究本身的框架，这是我们认为最有意义的事件。民族志并不意味着我们摆脱了“研究”的剥削性质，我们必须重新考虑我们在当地社区中的位置和立场。我们需要把自己从社会认可的“研究”框架中解放出来，把自己与当地社区联系起来，仅仅是另一个“他者”。

What we have learned in the course of three-year-research can be summed up as follows :1.Teaching Japanese language to the Asian women we studied, in most cases, has an innately assimilative and repressive nature, and may funcrion to mold theminto onveniently invented pseudo-Japanese roles.2.Among a number of support activities organized by the local Japanese volunteers we found a few which succeed in helpingthe Asian wom.en gain their'voices' in the local communities.3.Which of the two approaches, namely there pressive teaching of Japanese language and movements that help to aquize one's voice, to take has become an issue in the commnunity, and Japnese-language-teaching paradigm is being questioned.Also in the course of these three yeas, pep1e who were the subjects of this research made the researchers re-examine the framework of the research itself, which we consider now the most significant event. Being ethnographic doesn't mean we are free from the exploiting nature of 'reseaches', and we had to reoconsider our position and stance in the local commmunity. We need to free ourselves from the socially recognized framework of'researches' and relate ourselves to local communities as simply another'other.
