    A letter from Cedrick Shimo to the Army Discharge Re-hearing Board regarding Minoru Takaki, a fellow member of the 1800 Engineers, a labor battalion in the U.S. Army made up of Japanese Americans who were considered "misfits" during Word War II. Shimo writes that all the members of the battalion who spent some time in Japan before World War II were given "blue discharge without honor" regardless of their conduct in the Army. Shimo argues that Minoru was one of those soldiers who was unfairly discharged, and Shimo requests that the Board reverse this decision.These materials are from box 73 and 74 of the Frank Chin Papers.

    <論文>Teaching English as a Foreign Language in Japan: To Divide or Not to Divide

    No full text
    [Abstract]The author previously compared the perceptions of two groups of university-level English teachers regarding their students: English first language (L1) teachers (ETs) and Japanese L1 teachers (JTs) (Shimo, 2014, 2016, 2018). Semi-structured interviews were conducted as a follow-up investigation in order to further explore the background factors of the differences between the two groups and to explore more effective ways of coordinating English language programs. The interview data of two ETs and two JTs were analyzed based on class content and students’ expectations from ETs and JTs, students’ preference in class format, and ETs and JTs’ teaching roles. One topic that was repeatedly mentioned in the interviews was the possibility that names and labels promote stereotypes of certain groups of people. Other themes that emerged included cultural resources that the teachers can provide and the effect of the teachers’ roles and experiences on their perceptions of students. The paper concludes with three suggestions. First, English language programs should not promote stereotypical images of certain groups of people. Second, the cultural resources that English users including ETs, JTs, and teachers from other counties bring in to classrooms should be utilized in English language learning/teaching. Third, English teachers should provide their students with learning activities that require not only discrete knowledge but also more comprehensive, integrated skills. By doing so, teachers will be able to adopt a dynamic teaching approach and more effectively uncover their students’ capabilities.application/pdfdepartmental bulletin pape
