This article reports the findings of a content analysis of Japanese university prospectuses in Japan. Its most salient findings are (1) an implicit common understanding exists in Japan of what the term ‘“native speaking” teachers’ means ; (2) university prospectuses aim to attract readers by offering ‘English conversation’ and related skills classes with ‘native’ teachers, and (3) the use of the term ‘native teachers’ and its equivalents is made in contrast to and distinction from the term ‘Japanese teachers’. This paper recommends that, in order to foster an appropriate perspective of languages, people, and the world, the purposes of learning English should be reviewed and the credentials of teachers required to achieve these purposes should be clearly defined. Teachers must be recruited based on an appropriate educational philosophy grounded in these criteria, rather than on whether they are ‘native’ speakers.}, pages = {1--42}, title = {How ‘Native Speakerism’ Manifests in Japanese University Prospectuses}, year = {2019}, yomi = {ツリイ, チエ} }
