Ｓｕｚａｎｎｅ Ｒｕｎｎｅｌｓ Ohyabe Junior High School |

Over a half century after its establishment, Japan’s Fundamental Law of Education (1947) is in the process of revision under the Educational Reform Plan for the 21st Century. A main component of change includes Japan’s Ministry of Education’s (MEXT) plan to cultivate “Japanese with English Abilities” (http://www.mext.go.jp) whereby junior high school graduates’ English proficiency will be measured, in part, by their skill in holding simple conversations, and comprising greetings and responses. Objectives for the “Course of Study for Lower Secondary School” for English promote that these students should be able to speak and write about their thoughts and understand a speaker or writer’s intentions in simple English. A key policy issue to help achieve this goal suggests eventual placement of over 11,500 Assistant Language Teachers nationwide in the junior and high school classrooms to provide native English speakers in English classes. Yokosuka City Schools’ junior high ALTs already have a 20-year history of striving to better Japanese students’ English proficiency. Based on a one-year term as an ALT at a Japanese junior high school, there were several practices noted under MEXT’s “Action Plan to Cultivate ‘Japanese With English Abilities’” that Oyabe Junior High School’s JETs employed to help successfully integrate the ALT as part of an instructional team. The plan encourages to and Oyabe’s JETs routinely do “conduct classes principally in English” where instructors establish opportunity for student-centered conversation versus teacher-centered instruction. Also, it suggests to use creative teaching methods to encourage students’ interest in learning, which Oyabe’s JETs accomplish through the ALT’s participation in various games, songs, and conversational activities, “making use of the ALT” as proposed under Action Plan goals (II./1., http://www.mext.go.jp/english/topics/03072801.htm). Through these and similar team practices, ALTs have a better opportunity to meet MEXT’s goals to provide “a valuable opportunity”; have the ability to increase “students’ joy and motivation for learning”; and earn the privilege of having “great meaning” as a native English speaker in a Japanese junior high school classroom.
