Innovation in Language Teaching and Learning: The Case of Japan

This volume examines a wide range of innovations in language learning and teaching in Japan.

Each of the chapters describes the impetus for a change or new development in a particular context, from early childhood to adult learning, details its implementation and provides an evaluation of its success.

In doing so, they provide a comprehensive overview of best practice in innovating language education from teaching practice in formal classroom settings, to self-directed learning beyond the classroom, and offer recommendations to enhance language education in Japan and beyond.
