Focusing on the ideological contradictions of adopting English as a medium of instruction in Japanese education, this book examines curricular, pedagogical, and cultural-political issues. It critiques the trend of English as a mere promotional tool, arguing that it fails to provide meaningful educational benefits. By situating this adoption within the conflicting narratives of globalization and Japanese identity, the author highlights the complexities and shortcomings of current practices in English-medium instruction.
