Some Manifestations of Japanese Exclusionism
The Japanese subscribe to ethnic nationalism, which is an ideology with the aim to develop an ethnically exclusive and homogeneous nationhood. One manifestation of ethnic nationalism is the belief that Japan is, or should be, a mono-ethnic society. Ethnic nationalism is manifested in the exclusionary attitude or opinion of the Japanese. In the context of foreigners living in Japan, the exclusionary attitude or opinion of the Japanese often transl…
English, language shift and values shift in Japan and Singapore
This is a comparative study of English language education in Japan and Singapore and the role English plays in both countries. English language education in Japan has not been very effective. Although the communicative approach to teaching English was introduced in the 1980s, schools still use the grammar-translation method and most Japanese do not possess the communicative skills necessary for interacting with foreigners. Government rhetoric has…
Factors contributing to low levels of intercultural interaction between Japanese and international students in Japan
This paper is a continuation of the discussion of the results of a series of studies (n=465) in which low levels of intercultural interaction between Japanese and international students were observed. While the analysis of the data in the studies was conducted at a micro level and has been completed, the perspective of the current paper is at a macro level. The low levels of intercultural interaction is a matter of great concern because young Jap…

Researchers in internationalisation of higher education have been reminding us that the presence of international students alone does not mean that the institution or the students are reaping the benefits of internationalisation. Since the number of international students is readily measurable, many have focused on increasing the number and overlooked other less quantifiable aspects, such as intercultural interaction, which is beneficial to stude…
Discussing assimilation and language shift among the Chinese in Thailand
Since the 1950s, the relationship between the Chinese in Thailand and their host society was characterized as that of assimilation. The main proponent of this view was William Skinner, and it was subsequently adopted by researchers in the field. However, the thesis of assimilation has been challenged by writers such as Chan Kwok Bun and Tong Chee Kiong, and many would agree that Skinner's thesis no longer prevails. While it is now almost certain …
Language Shift in the Thai Chinese Community
It is a striking fact that many of the people of Chinese ancestry in Thailand do not speak a Chinese variety. The Thai Chinese have no doubt experienced language shift from Chinese to Thai. The shift is largely the result of assimilation, which the government encouraged. The most important contributing factors to the shift during the first half of the 20th century include the decline of Chinese education, pro-Thai enactments and positive attitude…
