Description

As part of the global community where English continues to emerge as the lingua franca, Japan has recognized the importance of having a workforce with L2 English communicative competence. This workforce includes vital sectors that interact with non-Japanese speakers on a daily basis such as the police. The problem facing the police in Japan is that many of them lack the confidence and L2 English skills to effectively communicate with the growing number of foreign tourists and residents. This paper introduces a new project designed within the framework of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and corpus studies that intends to investigate the English that the Kyoto Police should be learning. It also describes how a grant from Kyoto Sangyo University is being applied to help fund the study.
