Report on Interviews with Long-Term Western Foreign Residents (LTW) in Japan
Get PDFThis paper is a part of an ongoing study on long-term Western foreign residents in Japan (LTW). This study is attempting to gather information on various styles of LTW identity formation in distinct communities within the borders of Japan. This subsequently leads to various depths of integration. This particular paper will act as a preliminary report on 25 interviews performed from 2015. A chart of the basic statistical information for all the respondents has also been added. All the quotes used in this paper are taken from the original transcripts (O’Keefe 2017). Various techniques were used to help with the complex process of coding the interviews (McCracken, 1988; Hernandez, 2009; Saldana, 2015). A progressive line of questioning was used for the interviews to allow recurring themes to be added in the “substantive coding” process (Holton 2007: 265). Quotes were all classified into theoretical coding families (Glaser, 1978) to include factors from the catalysts and the styles-of-belonging found in the hybrid identity model (O’Keefe 2017). A full report on all of the quotes would require them to be broken down into several installments which is why this preliminary report is being offered as a foundation for reference in future work in this series on LTW. Throughout this paper results from a 93 item nationwide survey performed in 2015 will be applied when it supports or disputes quotes from the interviews. The typological diagram of LTW used to classify various hybrid identities will also be introduced. This paper concludes the presence of clear examples of the factors used in the hybrid identity model which are vital to the creation of the final goal to support the typological breakdown of complex evolving forms of LTW identity

Get PDF本研究の目的は、５歳児を対象とした看図アプローチによるビジュアルテキストの読み解き実践の意義について検討することである。看図アプローチによるビジュアルテキストの読み解きは、「雨の日」の写真を題材とし、「蛙」と「紫陽花」の写真をそれぞれ２枚、「水溜り」の写真１枚をビジュアルテキストとして使用し、筆者とグループ（子どもと担当保育者）で行った。その結果、ビジュアルテキストの特性による子どもの発話の違い、虚構と現実の世界を楽しみながら作話を始める姿や根拠をあげて説明するという５歳児の発達の特徴がみられた。看図アプローチによるビジュアルテキストの読み解き実践は、子ども同士や保育者との協同的な対話を展開し、表現する楽しさや伝え合うことを体験する活動として有用であることが示唆された
A Comparative Study of Male and Female Long-Term Westerners (LTW) Living in Japan.
Get PDFThis paper steps away from other papers in this series which discuss hybrid identities of long-term Western foreign residents (LTW) to report significant data gathered from a questionnaire (n=306) which was originally used to perform a Pearson r correlation (OʼKeefe 2016). Certain items starting with basic statistical information such as nationality, marital status, age, and education level and proceeding to a self-rated language skill score are also included in this report. Life-satisfaction results along with other significant data are also shown here in their original form. The results of items that asked respondents their opinion on certain subjects are displayed here to act as a debate for future work. Items inquire about subjects like dual citizenship, the right to vote in all elections and opinions on the Japanese school system. Respondents were also asked what their plans are for the future. Items such as this seek out the feeling of permanence rather than living a temporary life in Japan. Finally, the main focus of this data is to report on the variance recorded in female/male responses to certain items through simple cross tabulation. Significant has been designated, for the purpose of this study, at greater than an 8% variance. The data indicates that gender roles are affected by the expectations of male and female roles within the Japanese construct. The variances are broken down into two groups: personal and professional environments
