Diversity in Japanese education

Araki, Naoko, editor

Overview

No one is born fully-formed: it is through self-experience in the world that we become what we are. Paulo Freire. Diversity in Japanese Education explores 'self-experience' of individual learners and educators in Japan. The word 'diversity' is not limited to one's ethnic background. Here, diversity refers to one's pedagogical experiences and life experiences; to the norms, beliefs and values that impact such relations. These experiences and relations are fluid as they are shaped and reshaped in global and glocal settings. They are also reflected in praxis of English language learning and teaching in Japan. The authors' educational backgrounds vary but they all share the common ground of being educators in Japan. Through being involved in learning and/or teaching English language in Japan, they have witnessed and experienced 'diversity' in their own pedagogical context. The book focuses on shifting critical and reflexive eyes on qualitative studies of pedagogical experiences rather than presenting one 'fixed' view of Japanese education.
