#9.Japanese companies' new English language policy.

 

Now days, English has become the lingua franca. But Japan has been slow to get in the bandwagon. Japan is the third largest country of economy and they don’t feel to learn a new language during Japan’s manufacturing heyday. But, they realize that the language barrier is so serious problem when they work for global marketing. So, Japan Company will adapt a foreign language when they have a meeting, send an e-mail and so on.  So, employees are learning a new language after getting off work. Beside, all high school will adapt too. But, some people are against it because students may have an aversion and they will not learn it as English conversation. They just study for pass the exam. Therefore, Japan has some trouble about lingua franca but the government enforce for Japanese education in 2013. So, when all high school students take an English class, they will learn in English.

  

   In my opinion, it is ridiculous because some students will have trouble keeping up with the class, so they may need to have supplementary lesson. Therefore, their parents are facing higher expenses for their children’s private education. Also, other students lose interest in studying. So, I think it is not good for students.
