Speaker

James Broxholme (Kagawa University)

Description

This presentation examines university students’ reflections on their pre-university English education, investigating satisfaction levels, perceived strengths and weaknesses, and alignment with national educational goals. A survey of 109 second-year students revealed that 66.97% reported satisfaction, yet concerns emerged regarding speaking opportunities, phonics instruction, and immersion experiences. These findings highlight discrepancies between policies and classroom realities, raising questions about the effectiveness of current reforms.
