Learning through Art : ESOL Program in Museum in London

In the global age, as international mobility increases and the society faces the complexity of multicultural society, it is essential to promote and foster intercultural dialogue. The objective of this research is to investigate practices of ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) programs in museums. In this study, the education program in the museum that enhances intercultural dialogue which leads to cross-cultural understanding for diverse populations will be examined. The significance is that the museum is a space of learning where learners make meaning from their own experiences. Through the ESOL program, the museum illustrates the importance of cultural institutions to increase educational roles to the diverse population. This paper will begin with a review of literature that discusses the role of museum and then continues with a discussion of ESOL programs in England. The paper concludes with the observation of ESOL program in the British Museum and how the museum has provided learning to the diverse population.This paper was originally presented at the 75th Annual Conference of Japanese Educational Research Association at Hokkaido University, on August 23-25, 2016

Analysis of English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Program in Cultural Institutions : Educational Opportunity for Adult Immigrants in New York City

The objective of this research is to investigate the educational services for immigrants through the English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program in cultural institutions such as library and museum in New York City. Due to the rapid growth of immigrant population, the role of cultural institutions in providing learning environment for adult immigrants has expanded drastically. In this study, the following questions are considered. How does the ESOL program in cultural institutions reflect the needs of diverse communities? How does the ESOL program encourage immigrants to participate in society? To answer these questions, interviews to ESOL program coordinators and teachers were conducted in February 2014. Two distinctive approaches to language instruction have been introduced in the ESOL program of library and museum. In a global age, designing the program that considers ethnic context is necessary since immigrants face difficulties in holding on to their heritage and adapting to new culture. Both accepting new culture and maintaining cultural identity are important for immigrants to participate in the community. The ESOL program of library and museum reflects the current needs of immigrants, reduces their risk of isolation from the community and encourages them to participate in society. There is an urgent need to develop educational program that is addressed to the multicultural population and serves as a bridge between the immigrants and American society. It can be stated that both library and museum in New York City have the important task of satisfying immigrants’ needs and encouraging them to participate in the society.This paper is a part of the author’s doctoral dissertation.This paper was originally orally presented at The 73rd Annual Conference of Japanese Educational Research Association at Kyushu University, on August 22-24, 2014

A Study of Leadership Required for Young Researcher

The objective of this paper is to investigate the leadership of young researchers. In recent years, career formation support for young researchers is being developed. In this research, to support young researchers' various career options, interview was conducted to 15 active leaders across different fields and ages. We asked questions about 1) attitudes and behaviors necessary for leaders, 2) abilities that helped to take on the current leading position, and 3) ability required for young researchers. The responses from the interview can be summarized as "the necessary attitude and behavior", "the useful skill", and "the required condition." Among all these responses, common ideas such as "the mission and vision", "the humility", and "the foundation of inter-personal relationship" can be pointed out in this research
