概要

論文の詳細を見る
Comparative studies are useful in identifying distinguishing features. In Japan, there is a widely accepted opinion that Japanese English language teaching (ELT) is not efficient in producing English proficiency. Common criticisms use TOEFL and Yakudoku as clear evidences of failure. This paper casts those criticisms into question and tries to show that these evidences are fallacies. First TOEFL, it will analyse the value of the criteria on which TOEFL test is based. Second, it notes the historical background and uniqueness of the yakudoku method. Through these arguments, this paper will identify the importance of devising original methods and reasonable goal setting, with consideration of Japan's characteristics and the social demands for the continual betterment of ELT in Japan.
