Description

This paper is a study on the life stories of foreign student athletes. It is often said that foreign student athletes' motivation for learning is low, and that they fail to acquire Japanese as a cognitive/academic language. The question of how teachers can help student athletes develop their second careers has become an important issue within the field of university sports. In this study, I will discuss the possibilities of Japanese language education correlated to second career support by focusing on the life stories of two Korean student athletes. Both of them - one is a member of the football team, and the other belongs to the Judo team - are now in the process of developing their second careers by preparing to enroll in graduate school. By analyzing their life stories, I will point out the significance of creating a method of Japanese language learning based on the student's individual process of developing his/her second career. In order to achieve this, Japanese language teachers could take on the role of "a third person": a person who gives foreign student athletes a chance to distance themselves from sports and think about their careers.
