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, a sample of 64 Thai teachers and a sample of 324 Thai learners of Japanese. Data collected from a sample of 135 Japanese teachers in Japan was also analyzed in order to determine the differences in educational style between Japanese and Thai teachers. The results of the chi-square test on the data reveal that there are more disparities than similarities between Japanese teachers and Thai earners when compared with Thai teachers and Thai learners.
