Abstract: | This essay is an attempt to search for ways to improve college English education in Japan. It first analyzes
several popular fallacies concerning English education, by applying the common understandings extracted from
the Hiraizumi-Watanabe debate of 1975. Second, it takes up the long-running argument specifically between the
practical, communication-oriented school and the ‘liberal arts education’-oriented school to explore the
possibilities for resolving the bitter divide that has haunted the history of English education in Japan. Lastly, the
merits of the traditional translation method in English education are reevaluated and reaffirmed as a good way of
pinpointing students’ weak points, having them get inside English texts, and expanding their mental and
intellectual faculties. All these perspectives are discussed in view of the information society. |
