Abstract
In this analysis, perspectives of Japanese and Thai teachers of Japanese on foreign and/or Japanese language education were examined. Data was collected in Thailand from a sample of 60 Japanese teachers and a sample of 64 Thai teachers using a modified version of BALLI. The results of the chi-square test on the data reveal that there are more disparities than similarities between Japanese and Thai teachers: Thai teachers tend to be stricter in teaching and often have clearer opinions and stronger attitude on language education than their Japanese counterparts.
