Although English teachers are greatly affected by such policies, this has made it sometimes difficult for teachers to keep up; barriers to obtaining information about current policies have also meant that teachers may not always feel like they are fully aware of what is being asked of them. This is especially true for mid-tier universities, to whom educational policies are not directly tailored. This article reports on a survey on teachers’ awareness of English educational policy at one university, which is part of a larger research project using the university as a qualitative case study on the reception of English education policies at mid-tier universities. Although teachers reported being somewhat positive about one core idea from recent policies—the development of gurōbaru-jinzai‘ global talent’, or individuals prepared to work in internationally diverse environments—they were less positive about the appropriateness of these policies for themselves and the Ministry of Education’s attempts to share information with teachers. Systemic institutional issues may be part of the reason for this: Many teachers felt that the university was dependent upon adjunct instructors and that there were not enough English teachers; they also reported desiring better networks between English teachers. Improving these issues, as well as developing the channels by which the Ministry of Education shares policy information with English teachers, would likely go a long way to improving teachers’ attitudes and beliefs about English education policies.}, pages = {23--30}, title = {英語教員が、英語教育政策についてどう思うのか?―とある大学におけるケーススタディー―}, volume = {11}, year = {2020}, yomi = {ウンサーシュッツ, ジャンカーラ} }
