Description
This study examines the challenges faced by non-Japanese Global English teachers in Japan. Despite the global trend towards multilingualism, Japanese education still prioritises "native-like" English as a model. Interviews with three participants revealed issues relating to student learning attitudes, cultural differences between Japan and other countries and classroom environments. This study highlights the unique experiences of these educators and the adjustments needed to teach in a Japanese university context.
