「内なる国際化」と日本語教育

概要

論文の詳細を見る
Japan has been urged to become 'internationalized' for decades. The internationalization of Japan doesn't simply imply ODA, PKO, or other 'outward' inter-national activities, but also 'inner' problems. 'Inner' internationalization in Japan has three aspects: 1)assurance of basic human rights for minorities and foreigners within Japan, 2)people's openmindedness to foreigners and foreign cultures, 3)international attitudes and efforts accelerated not by political or administrative top-down force, but by people's own initiatives. Japanese language teaching has strong ties with these three 'inner' internationalization processes. Teachers of Japanese language interact with foreign students in their class, each of whom has his/her own cultural background and latent claim to human rights. Whether conscious or not, they are playing an important roll in this field of 'inner' internationalization in Japan.
