発表概要
Languages exist to be used. Honna (2003, p. 194) says, “English becomes significant when it is used.” However, how is English used naturally just like Japanese is used in daily life in Japan? Students in Japan learn English, practice English, take tests in English, and use English rather limitedly in class, but in many cases they may not use it in their daily life. Therefore, I will explore the actual natural use of English in Japan. First, I will discuss the importance of natural use of English. Second, I will show actual situations of junior and senior high school. Third I will examine specific examples of natural use of English in Japan. Finally, I will argue extemporaneous use of English and look into more possibility of natural use of English in Japan.
