With the current globalizing society, university students are also expected to develop their abilities in skills such as intercultural communication, critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving and collaboration. However, it may be argued that in order for the effective attainment of these type of skills, it cannot be achieved through the study of language education alone, but also by the study of cultural education, and will continue to be necessary to truly attain the internationalization of Japan. (Okada, 2004). According to Yamada (2015), due to the advance of globalization in Japan, in the classrooms of primary, secondary and post-secondary educational institutions, “Japan will come to have an
increase of students from diverse ethnic and linguistic backgrounds”. As a result, education in Japan must start to reflect this new generation of Japan in belonging to an acknowledged multicultural society. Yamada further states that curriculum developers in Japanese education “must embrace the domestic and regional diversity…” and that by “incorporating a multicultural perspective in EFL instruction thus enables its teachers and students to open conversations about diversity that are usually neglected in their classes” (p. 119). “Adopting a multicultural perspective in turn heightens EFL students’ awareness and understanding of ethnic and linguistic diversities within their country and among other countries” (pp.123-124)., 研究ノート},
