The disjuncture between the aims of policy and the realities on the ground faced by individual teachers and students is explored in detail. Education policy designed to help to prepare Japan for the challenges of globalisation constantly comes up against institutional inertia, norms of teaching and learning, and concepts of national culture that obstruct the mastering of foreign languages or the acceptance of cultural, ethnic or linguistic diversity.Education and globalizationJapanEnglish languageStudy and teachingJapanInternational educationJapanEducation and globalizationEnglish languageStudy and teachingInternational education370.116370.1160952Aspinall Robert W.1962-1687470MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813613803321International education policy in Japan in an age of globalisation and risk4060947UNINA
