In Japan, after the Meiji Restoration of 1868, Japan was eager to adopt western technology. It did so, in part, by sending some people to western countries to study. It was also geared to national economic and competitive interests so far as Japan's position in the international marketplace was concerned. Since the end of the Second World War, Japan has realized the fact that it is necessary for it to use and import resources. Such a world business market situation generates unique psychological pressure for Japanese to learn English. As long as Japan's economic situation which depends on world trade is not changed, the knowledge of English is important for the country's continuing success and productivity. This paper examines various factors which influence attitudes and motivation for learning English in Japan, from the Meiji Restoration till the Showa Era (1988), and further considers the rationale at that period for Japanese to study English at Intensive English Language Programs in the United States.}, pages = {93--104}, title = {日本社会における英語学習に対するAttitudesとMotivation : 社会文化的視点からの一考察(Part 1 明治維新から昭和時代まで)}, volume = {2}, year = {2018} }
