His main concern was that it is impossible for Japanese people to achieve native fluency. He also emphasized that culture is important in terms of communication. Sasaki said that we still do not know exactly what we have done, or even what we should do. The first step in renovating English education is to stop this trend. Secondly, English is not only a means of communication, but in schools, it is one of the subjects.
English education is apart of language education and has much to do with language arts.
Thirdly, English should be a required subject in junior high Schools. Fourthly, language education is not only teaching four skills of a language but also teaching the background culture. We should not forget the people who use that language. The next conference will be held in Akita next August. If you find any problems, let me know.
