Perceptions of first-year tertiary students’ English language learning after six years of instruction in Japan: An evaluation study (Publication No. 227799325)

This qualitative study addressed student perceptions of English as a foreign language (EFL) secondary communication in Japan. Eight first-year university students’ satisfaction learning English in secondary school was analyzed through a modified Clark and Estes’s (2008) Knowledge Motivation Organization (KMO) framework. After six years of instruction, the interviewees were proficient at English, yet those who learned communication, or a private accelerated curriculum had higher proficiency levels than those who learned English in Japanese at public schools. The interviewees who practiced speaking English reported moderate self- efficacy levels while those who learned English through lectures in Japanese had low levels engaging in the same tasks. The field-based organizational influences had a strong impact on the interviewees as MEXT’s (2011a; 2011b; 2011c) EFL secondary communication reforms were partially followed or ignored in favor of executing drills for English university entrance exams except for one interviewee in high school. The study was not generalizable, yet its strength was the voices of the student stakeholder interviewees that described their secondary EFL educational experiences compared with their textbooks and MEXT policy. More student interview studies are needed to highlight the current conditions as recipient participants because their input should contribute to information useful for the confidence and satisfaction of future students’ English successes. Such studies could also help improve the problem of practice of the abandonment of EFL communication in favor of university entrance exam preparation in English classes in Japan.
