ABSTRACT
In this article, we discuss the place of English among migrants in Japan. First, we talk about the migration situation in Japan and the languages migrants use in Japan. Then, we present an overview of the status of English in Japan. We then point out how useful English can be to migrants in Japan as well as identify situations where the language is not particularly useful to them. We end the article by providing recommendations regarding the utility of English in the migration situation in Japan, more specifically how Japan could be directed to be more bilingual in English not only for the benefits of migrants but also for the Japanese people themselves.
