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., Kobe City University of Foreign Studies (Japan)/Doctoral Student}, pages = {39--53}, title = {MEXT Policies and Learning Experience : Lifelong Learners of Languages other than English}, volume = {59}, year = {2019} }
