 History
Early edition of Tejima Japan and an early English speaker circa 1600 It is the founder of the Tokugawa Feudal Government, Tokugawa Ieyasu It is believed that she met with. The only translator who was the only translator in Portuguese, the Tokugawa Ieyasu is said to have not stopped a very positive relationship with William Adams in Japan for the rest of his life.

However, following the death of Tokusha's Ieyasuva in 1616, a change in Pakubu's foreign policy was ordered to close the office of the English merchants in 1623, which prompted the English to leave Japan. In 1807, the British ship Beaton seized cargo at Nagasaki. By 1825, the Begbudh landlords had ordered the repatriation of all foreign ships, except the Duke and the Chinese.

In 1841, when translating Murray's English grammar into Dutch, the first official of any English grammar book in the Japanese language, the high-ranking official of Bakubu, who was studying Tupal! Then in 1848, American Ranaut MacDonald came to Japan to teach English as a shipbuilder and fourteen official Japanese translators of Dakota's Dakota. It is one of McDonald's students, Moriyama, who works as an interpreter between the US and Japan to establish trade relations.

Yokohama Academy, one of the first English schools, was founded in 1865 by Bakfu in Japan, where American missionaries such as James Curtis Hepburn taught. In 1874, there were 91 foreign language schools in Japan, of which 82 taught English. In 1923, the Englishman was named Harold E. Palmer was summoned by the Japanese Ministry of Education, where he found the Institute of English Teaching at Tokyo. However, since the 1880s, when Japan quickly became a modernized country, Shiku Shiketaka's Nihon Jin books (Japanese people) have implications for warning Japanese people about the dangers of Western nations. Therefore, until the end of World War II, there was an increasing tension between the Western thinking and the national pride of the Japanese people.

There are disagreements about how Japanese people view English. On the one hand, there seems to be much interest in gaining knowledge of the work of the English language, which is expressed by the annual rise of Steps Aiken [2] and the English media, in order to attend to the global economy and the international community. At the same time, Henry J. By writers like Hughes and Mike Guest [4] Japan is one of the most independent countries on earth due to its geographical isolation and dramatic translation industry, and English is a necessity in everyday life.

The modern English language industry has seen an incredible boom recently, followed by a number of difficulties, including bankruptcy announcements for the two largest English conversational school chains.

Difficulties

Due to major differences in grammar and syntax and differences in pronunciation, Japanese students experience great difficulty in learning English. In Japanese terminology, frequent omission in Japanese, lack of articles, lack of functioning of plural forms, difficulties in distinguishing L and L all contribute to significant problems in using English. [5] In fact, Japan has been rated relatively poorly in international English tests. [6] However, this may mean that the proportion of Japanese taking English or international employment is higher than other nationalities, often for school or work purposes.

An additional factor is that it is used for functional purposes in everyday life rather than as "decorative" or "design".That is, for Japanese consumption, non-English speakers are a way of looking "vibrant, sophisticated and modern". In fact, as it is decorated in the English language, "it is right to not trying, Japanese majority of the majority not question, the question of the English designer study ever attempted. So the spell checker and grammar accuracy is less important."The English daily life Edhi Learning experiences are useful to help kollum.

School system
Further information: According to the Japan Ministry of Education's Ministry of Finance (Japan), public accounting costs for activities related to education and science in fiscal year 2004 were $ 6,133.0 billion (or nearly $ 70.8 billion). Japan is the UN The education index ranks 34th in the world, but the highest marks in science according to PISA.

Many Japanese parents send their children to elementary schools in Eiki before they start school. [1] Approximately 90 percent of children ages 12 to 14 spend in the school classroom setting.

Traditionally, Japanese students have used the grammar-translation method, thanks in part to the Nakama Mansiro Kanoon system, to teach their students how to learn English. However, there are innovative ways in and out of the classroom to teach mobile phones [13] [14] and pop culture Japanese students.

In April 2011, the English instruction continues to be compulsory in 5th grade elementary school It is scheduled to make English action classes for third- and fourth-graders, and by 2020, will be made available to fifth- and sixth-graders.

Private sector Main article:
Egiva school Private-language schools for the English language are called excavations. The largest of these chains  have not yet filed for bankruptcy. The industry is not well organized. Nova, the largest chain with more than 900 branches in Japan, collapsed in October 2007, with thousands of foreign teachers living without money or a place. Other teachers work at universities, and most university positions now require a graduate degree.

In Japan, reputable companies or shipping companies, English speakers, clients, primary schools, and private companies need to promote English to their business. Recently, companies have been vigorously competing to get contracts off the boards of elementary, junior and senior high schools, so the pay for teachers has steadily declined over the past four years.

The average salary for Japanese teachers is under 250,000 yen per month, although this may rise slightly depending on experience. Along with wages, working conditions have plummeted, leading to reports in the local and international press of industrial action and court battles.

The Japanese government provides assistance to Japanese exchange and teaching program staff in Japanese high schools and elementary schools in rural, rural and urban areas.

Cultural differences Main article:
 When the same community actually speaks English, Japanese students begin to worry about the strange voice, which makes no sense, and has a terrible accent; Therefore, they are shy to speak English. However, by addressing students' concerns, the English instructor can help students with cognitive, effective, and behavioral strategies that they can use to cope with experiential attitudes in English-language classrooms. "Lack of motivation negatively affects the attitudes and behaviors of the imagination, classroom group dynamics and teacher motivation, and results in long-term and widespread negative learning." [23] It helps students cope with their anxiety, and helps students acquire new information by focusing on their learning strategies and their motivation, such as "he or she has positive intentions and minimizes the effects of negative motivations.
