| Sumario: | This chapter outlines developments in the reform of English language teaching (ELT) in Japan. It outlines how Japan has an implicit deeply entrenched educational system based on Confucianism and how this system is undergoing change. The chapter is organised with reference to a dynamic interplay of global economic realities, ELT policy reforms and how these reforms affect the way in which academic performance is measured. Reforms in the national curriculum in secondary education, national university entrance exams and institutional policies have brought about the need for teachers at secondary- and tertiary level to broker a new approach to teaching and learning. Specific reference is made to lessons involving an active learning approach at Tokyo University of Science, Japan. |
