Fukuoka JALT:

University Entrance Examinations Stratify High School English Education

Date: Saturday, March 25th, 2023 Time: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Speaker: Fukunaga Sunao

Description:
This qualitative study examined how the Japanese university English entrance examination reform functions as policy planning and elucidates how the reform has ended up stratifying high school English teaching practices, exacerbating disparities between students who have access to quality instruction and those who do not. Central to the argument is how the lack of understanding of intersectionality when planning English education policy leads to planning inequality and privileging elites in the Japanese education context.

Keywords:
English education policy, university entrance examinations, intersectionality
