Class #12 Education

Do you agree with the writer Minae Mizumura (“The Fall of Japanese in the Age of English”) when she says that”, “the dominance of English, especially with the advent of the Internet, threatens to reduce all other national languages to mere “local” languages that are not taken seriously by scholars. The education system, she argues, doesn’t spend enough time teaching Japanese.”Why? Give at least 3 reasons to support your answer.


Firstly, I don't think, "The education system, doesn’t spend enough time teaching Japanese". We study Japanese by the compulsory education of nine years. And, most people study it more three years at high school.

Secondly, There are a lot of books around us. And our parents read the picture book for us in the early childhood, and then we learned Japanese.

Thirdly, certainly, education free from of pressure becomes a problem. However to improve our scholastic attainments, the school is adopting the plan excluding the class. In my case, our junior high school has “Morning reading” and self-study with papers before lunchtime.

  3. Hi.
    I don't think so.
    Japanese English has spread to us. And
    cellphones and computers are very frequently used, so writing characters with hands have decreased.
    We need using Japanese more.
