Description

To get a thorough understanding of the relationship between kokugo education in Japan and Japanese language education in China, this study attempts to unravel the roles, achievements, educational contents, and issues in the practical teaching activities of the kokugo teachers. These teachers were dispatched as Japanese language teachers to Chinese universities during the late 1970s to the present. The study is based on interviews with kokugo teachers and related documentary materials. The study results show that (1) the kokugo teachers are required to demonstrate accurate Japanese language skills and a "Japanese mind" as well as knowledge of Japanese culture and society, (2) their expertise is better used in specific curricula determined by the grade and subject they teach, and (3) in spite of being criticized, kokugo content and methods have been consistently used. Hence, it is necessary to reconsider Japanese language education from the kokugo education perspective, in turn implying the further study of kokugo education.
