MEXT Policies and Learning Experience : Lifelong Learners of Languages other than English SHIBUYA, Emi Foreign Language Learning Language Policy Third Age Learner Lifelong Learning Volunteer Tour Guide Language for Specific Purposes application/pdf This paper reviews how foreign language education, especially in French, has evolved in Japan by referring to the implementation of the Course of Study Guidelines by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology – Japan (MEXT). The guidelines for senior high schools indicate that instruction for foreign languages other than English should follow the Objectives and Contents for each subject in accordance with English (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology – Japan [MEXT], 2018a, p. 239). However, some professional jobs related to 2 usage (e.g., travel guides or interpreters, etc.) require enough learning experiences of the target languages in terms of cultural understanding, ways of communication, and so forth. This paper explores the possibility of learning other foreign languages (e.g., French) from the aspect of current market demand rather than through strict application of MEXT policies.
