ABSTRACT

Recently, the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) has produced several internationalisation policies to develop their notion of guroubaru-jinzai (global human resources). However, a lack of clear direction regarding theories and approaches about how to achieve these initiatives has created a gap in the research. Therefore, this paper seeks to fill that gap by introducing an interdisciplinary approach towards creating a foreign language and intercultural development framework. A case study results suggest that the framework can be useful to encourage students’ attitudes and perceptions of foreign language and intercultural development towards developing global human resources.

摘要

最近，日本教育，文化，体育，科学和技术部（MEXT）制定了一些国际化政策，以发展其guroubaru-jinzai（全球人力资源）概念。但是，关于如何实现这些倡议的理论和方法缺乏明确的方向，导致了研究空白。因此，本文试图通过引入跨学科方法来创建外语和跨文化发展框架来填补这一空白。案例研究结果表明，该框架可以有助于鼓励学生对开发全球人力资源的态度和看法，以及对外语和跨文化发展的看法。
