Foreword
In 2003 the Japan Foundation, in cooperation with the AustraliaJapan Research Centre
(AJRC) at The Australian National University, conducted a survey on the state of Japanese
studies in Australia and New Zealand. This survey was designed to constitute part of a
continuing project initiated by the Japan Foundation to create a worldwide database providing
a comprehensive picture of the state of Japanese studies in various countries around the
world. This Directory of Japanese Studies in Australia and New Zealand is the outcome of
the 2003 survey and is intended to update the previous edition published in 1997.
We believe this volume will provide a vivid picture of recent trends in Japanese studies
in Australia and New Zealand and assist those seeking information on Japan specialists and
institutions offering courses in the field. We hope that it will play a role in promoting
collaborative efforts and networking among people who are engaged in activities related to
Japan in Australia, New Zealand and all over the world.
This directory is the result of the combined efforts of the Japanese studies community
in Australia and New Zealand. We wish to express our deepest gratitude to Professor Peter
Drysdale of the AJRC, whose invaluable assistance and expertise have once again ensured
the success of the project. Our sincere thanks go to Ms Karina Dugard of the AJRC, for her
constant cooperation and dedication to the project. We would also like to extend our
appreciation to Ms Marilyn Popp and colleagues at the AJRC for their efforts. We wish to
acknowledge the AJRC for undertaking the planning and data collection for the survey as
well as the compilation and publication of this directory.
We hope that this directory will be a useful guide for Japanese studies in Australia and
New Zealand.

Preface
Japanese studies are taught at over 40 universities in Australia and New Zealand and there
are many thousands of students and scholars actively engaged in language and other studies
related to Japan. This directory provides a comprehensive guide to the extensive teaching
and research programs of these institutions. It also includes details of the expertise of the
many scholars and professionals actively involved in Japanese studies in the social sciences
and humanities, including Japanese language studies, linguistics, literature, anthropology,
education, environmental studies, history, economics, politics, international relations, sociology
and Asian studies generally.
The directory updates the previous survey undertaken in 1996 and published the following
year. It provides a snapshot of all Japanese studies courses, programs and scholars at Australian
and New Zealand universities and other tertiary institutions in 2003, as well as the Japanrelated activities of selected non-tertiary institutions. It should be a useful reference for all
those involved in Japan-related teaching or research in both countries and across the broader
international community of students and scholars interested in Japan.
The directory has been assembled by the AustraliaJapan Research Centre at The
Australian National University, with the support and cooperation of the Japan Foundation. I
am especially grateful for the initiative and warm encouragement of the staff of the Japan
Foundations headquarters Mr Kazuo Ogoura, President, Mr Kenichi Yanagisawa, Ms
Reiko Tajima, Mr Katsuma Doi and Ms Masayo Hasegawa and the staff at the Japan
Foundation, Sydney Mr Koji Okamoto, Former Director General, Mr Masaki Baba, Deputy
Director, Ms Katie McMahon and Mr Karl Pell and their colleagues throughout the completion
of the project. It was a great pleasure to work with them on the project.
There are three main parts to the directory. Part I contains a number of essays by
leading Japan scholars, who focus on developments at their universities and in their fields of
study and research. Part II is a detailed listing of Japan-related undergraduate and postgraduate
courses and other activities offered at Australian and New Zealand universities. Part III is a
register of almost 300 Japan specialists in tertiary institutions in both countries.
The volume and the website <http://apseg.anu.edu.au/japanstudies> on which it is also
located aims to serve as a valuable resource and networking tool for students and scholars of
Japanese studies in Australia and New Zealand and around the world.
The directory was prepared with the assistance and advice of a group of leading Japan
scholars from major Australia institutions and from New Zealand. Their help in shaping the
directory, organising the extremely high rate of response to the survey and offering comments
on developments in their institutions was indispensable. I am deeply grateful for their
cooperation and support. I would especially like to thank Ms Carolyn Shaw of the Christchurch
Polytechnic Institute of Technology and Ms Susan Bouterey of the University of Canterbury
for their assistance in the New Zealand survey. Many Japan scholars in both countries
generously provided details of their institutions, teaching programs, research interests and
contact details, and I am very grateful for their effort and the time they made available for
this work.
Many others contributed to the successful publication of this directory. In particular, the
project would not have been completed successfully without the energy and dedication of the
team at the AustraliaJapan Research Centre who assisted me in the coordination and
execution of the work. Karina Dugards cheerful and efficient management of the project
deserves special mention. I am extremely grateful to her for her excellent work from the
beginning to the end. I also extend thanks to Dr Roger Farrell, as adviser to the project team.
Sarah Leeming and Angela Grant provided top-quality editorial input. My warm thanks also
goes to the staff of the AustraliaJapan Research Centre who were engaged on the project:
Shiro Armstrong, Robin Barrett, Bill Bannear, Marilyn Popp and Minni Reis provided sterling
assistance throughout.
In the past, this work has been widely appreciated throughout the Japanese studies
profession in Australia and New Zealand as providing an important opportunity for selfreflection and review. The assembly of the directory over the past nine months has again
served that purpose admirably and the Japan Foundation is to be congratulated on its
understanding of, and support for, this important aspect of the endeavour.
I hope that many will find the new volume a timely and useful reference on Japan
studies in Australia and New Zealand.

ESSAYS ON JAPANESE STUDIES

IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND
Essays AUS
Overview: Japanese Studies in

Australian and New Zealand Universities
Peter Drysdale
The strength and richness of Japanese studies in Australia and New Zealand is reflected in
the fact that 33 of Australias 40 universities, 7 of New Zealands 8 universities, and 2 institutes
of technology in New Zealand include Japanese studies in their curricula. There are over
15,000 student enrolments in Japanese language or Japan-related courses in Australia alone.
The major Australian and the larger New Zealand institutions also have substantial research
programs on many facets of Japans society, history, culture, economy, politics and law.
This directory provides a guide to Japanese studies programs, the courses on offer and
specialists in universities and other institutions in Australia and New Zealand. It is the third
such directory of Japanese studies in Australia and the second that has also covered universities
in New Zealand. All three directories have been based on surveys undertaken by the Australia
Japan Research Centre, with the support of the Japan Foundation. The directory lists institutions
and individuals in Australia and New Zealand engaged in the study of Japan and the Japanese
language. It also includes comment by scholars on the achievements, and the problems facing,
the main centres of research and teaching, as well as on issues of general concern to the
profession.
Structure of the directory

The directory comprises three main parts. Part I presents a series of essays outlining the
Japanese studies programs at major centres of learning throughout Australia and New Zealand
and reflecting on the many changes that have taken place over the past eight years since the
publication of the second directory in 1996. Part II gives a comprehensive listing of institutions
that offer Japan-related courses and the programs on offer. It also includes information about
other institutions that serve the Japanese studies community, such as the National Library.
Part III provides details of specialists in tertiary institutions in Australia and New Zealand.
Over 250 specialists from Australia and almost 40 from New Zealand are listed.
The essays in Part I are written from an institutional rather than a disciplinary perspective.
This too was the emphasis of the 1989 and 1996 directories, since it proved most useful to
students and educational policymakers. Essay writers were invited to outline the objectives
and strengths of the Japanese studies program at their institution and to detail course structures
and other program features of importance. A distinction is drawn between the acquisition of
Japanese language skills and area-related Japanese studies. These reports reveal continuing
richness, depth and diversity of Japanese studies programs across universities in Australia
and New Zealand. At the same time, they also raise uncertainties about the future of Japanese
studies in a number of institutions and areas. In Australia, most universities offer a substantial
Japanese studies program of some kind. The number of specialists in the sample has risen
somewhat since 1996. The diversity of approaches at different institutions is an important

and healthy feature of programs in both countries.
There are also problems. Overall enrolments in Japanese studies programs across the
university system in Australia have plateaued. In terms of equivalent full-time student units
(EFTSUs, as defined in the footnote to Table 1), enrolments in Japanese studies, at 2,513,
were slightly lower in 2003 than they were in 1996, at 2,614. Total enrolments fell from
18,005 to 15,215 (Table 1). This reflected a decline in enrolments in non-language courses,
while enrolments in language study rose over the period from 10,445 to 11,591. There was
considerable variation in the change in enrolments among different institutions (Figure 1).
Among the large programs, numbers enrolled in language at Monash and Sydney have declined,
those at the University of NSW have grown, and the ANU has fairly steady numbers. There
have been sharp declines at Newcastle and La Trobe.
Entries in Parts II and III of the report are based upon responses to questionnaires
distributed in August 2003. There was careful follow-up over the months through to March
2004 so that, wherever possible, staff movements and other developments over the period
are incorporated and the coverage is as complete as possible. The directory attempts to
provide a qualitative assessment of how institutions and programs have adapted and responded
to pressures and changes over the last eight years. It seeks also to provide an accurate
quantitative inventory of Japanese studies courses and Japan specialists. The result should be
a fairly complete and ready reference for students, teachers, researchers and the education
policy community.
Main features of the survey

Japanese and Japan-related courses are offered at the vast majority of Australias universities
and the seven universities and two institutes of technology in New Zealand. These institutions
and the courses that they offer are set out in Part II of the directory. Publications listed in this
part of the directory are those that are the result of coordinated centre activity and a lack of
publications does not indicate that individuals at particular institutions have not independently
published work. Selected publications of individual specialists are listed in the entries for
individuals in Part III.
Part III includes details for Japan specialists in Australia and New Zealand. They are
listed alphabetically for each country. Details include past and present research projects,
major publications, graduate supervision and contact details.
While the judgement as to what constitutes a Japan specialist must be to a degree
subjective, a Japan specialist is defined in this study as any person who spends 50 per cent or
more of their time teaching and researching on Japanese language or Japan-related subjects
at a tertiary institution. Every attempt was made to contact all relevant persons but some may
not have been included because they were away on study leave or for other reasons when
questionnaires were distributed. Anyone inadvertently excluded is able to have their details
incorporated in the electronic version of the database of Japan specialists.
As for any directory of this kind, details may change between the time of completion
and publication of the work. The continued restructuring of higher education in Australia
presents a particular problem in this respect.

Based on the survey data.
The following remarks about trends in Japanese studies are based on quantitative and
other data that are available for Australia. However, similar trends are evident from the
qualitative information that was provided by New Zealand contributors to the volume. Where
generalisations inclusive of New Zealand appeared justified, I therefore risked applying them.
Fall-off in demand
Table 1 provides data on enrolments and EFTSUs in Japanese studies at 33 Australian
universities for selected years from 1990 to 2003. These data reveal that the upsurge in
enrolments prior to 1989, when institutions were coping with what was described in the 1989
survey as a tsunami of enrolments, and more moderately through to 1996, levelled off and
then fell somewhat in the last eight years.
In the Australian institutions for which data are available, EFTSUs in Japanese language
and Japan-related subjects fell slightly, by 3.9 per cent, between 1996 and 2003 to just over
2,500. Enrolments in language study rose by a surprising 11.0 per cent while total enrolments
fell by 15.5 per cent between 1996 and 2003. Currently, there are over 15,000 enrolments at
these institutions in Japanese studies courses, of which 11,600 are in Japanese language
courses.
A new and important feature revealed in the 1997 directory was the growth of enrolments
of students from non-English-speaking backgrounds and students with in-country experience
prior to university enrolment. This trend has continued. The growing number of students of
10

non-English-speaking backgrounds have not all been overseas students on full fees, although
such enrolments have increased substantially, but also include overseas-born Australian
students. It was estimated in the 1997 directory that overseas-born students accounted for
approximately 40 per cent of enrolments in Japanese studies programs at the larger metropolitan
universities. The proportion of overseas students is now said to be as high as 5070 per cent
in some programs. While there are no detailed data on the growing proportion of overseas
students undertaking Japanese studies courses, the impression that emerges in the essays on
enrolments in major metropolitan institutions is strong. The implication is that the fall in demand
for Japanese studies by Australian students is steeper than the aggregate data suggest. Many
in the profession are concerned that this is already affecting professional renewal, since
foreign students are over-represented in introductory and language courses, and do not usually
proceed to advanced or graduate study.
On the positive side, as in other fields in Australia, foreign students are a potential
source of quality professional recruitment. Australia is a society open to permanent settlement
and many leaders in this and other professions are overseas-born Australians. Yet honours
and graduate stream numbers are on the decline and the structure of the student intake
appears to be one factor influencing this trend. It is clearly not the only factor, since institutions
in which there are not large numbers of overseas students also seem to be affected to some
extent.
The fall of enrolments in Japan-related studies is a cause for concern. Language training
needs to be complemented by related Japan knowledge and education. The number of Japanrelated subjects on offer at some institutions has declined. Overseas students, it has been
suggested, may also have lower demand for Japan-related courses.
The slowdown in demand for Japan studies is in part a consequence of the decline in
the importance of Japan in the international economy and the long period of economic stagnation
Japan experienced in the 1990s. There is also a perception that there was a downgrading in
the priority accorded by the political leadership to Australias relationships with Asia. These
factors have affected the interest in, and demand for, Japan-related training within the Australian
community and by Australian students.
Yet, as suggested in the 1997 directory, the deep economic and political integration that
has developed with Japan has encouraged the continuation of demand for people educated in
Japanese studies, as well as for increasingly sophisticated levels of skill and training. Japan
continues to be the largest economy in East Asia and there are large rewards for investment
in Japan-related education, partly because of limited Japanese migration and other people
exchanges. Japan contrasts markedly, for example, with China in this respect. Australians of
Chinese background and Australian-educated Chinese play a large role in the Australian
relationship with China. The growth in tourism is only one of the more obvious areas in which
the demand for Japan-educated people has grown. There is an ever-larger market for Japaneducated professionals in education, finance, marketing, consulting and other services.
In reality, the position of Japan in Asia has changed. China is on the rise. The context in
which Japan is increasingly important is that of its significant relationships with the other
countries in the region, including China. It is through this prism that both Australian and
overseas students too are now increasingly attracted to the study of Japan.

The Australian and New Zealand profession at a glance

A detailed profile of the Japanese studies professions in Australia and New Zealand is set out
in the charts and figures in Appendix 4. The data in this appendix cover researchers included
in the Japan Foundation database. Not all researchers included in this directory are in the
database, but 192 out of 251, or 77 per cent in Australia, and 29 out of 38, or 76 per cent in
New Zealand, are.
Of the researchers for whom data are available, women make up 57 per cent of the
sample in Australia and 62 per cent in New Zealand. The profession is highly qualified:
approximately 62 per cent of researchers in both Australia and New Zealand hold PhD
degrees, and 94 per cent of researchers in Australia and 90 per cent in New Zealand hold
higher degrees. Nearly half of the researchers in Australia are Australian nationals or have
Australian and joint nationality, while 35 per cent are Japanese nationals. For New Zealand,
41 per cent are New Zealand nationals and 28 per cent are Japanese nationals.
The primary and secondary specialisations of researchers in the professions in Australia
and New Zealand are somewhat different. There is a higher concentration of language,
history, literature, performing arts and gender studies specialists in New Zealand. In Australia,
there is a wider spread of specialisations across the social sciences, although language, history
and literature are also the largest areas of specialisation. Almost 30 per cent of the profession
in Australia nominate a social science as an area of primary or secondary specialisation
compared with 25 per cent in language and education and 15 per cent in history.
Less than 5 per cent of researchers are under 35 years old in Australia, and 23 per cent
of researchers are over 55 years old. The comparable figures for New Zealand are 10 per
cent and 17 per cent, respectively. Since an additional 15 per cent are over 50 years old in
Australia, there is an issue of renewal in the profession, at least in Australia.
Established strengths and characteristics

In July 2003 the professional body for Japan scholars across all fields, the Japanese Studies
Association of Australia (JSAA), celebrated its 25th anniversary at its biennial conference at
Queensland University of Technology (QUT). There were over 200 participants at this meeting,
including a significant number from New Zealand. And there were around 180 presentations
on subjects as diverse as Reflections on Relations with Japan, The Body in Avant-Garde
Theatre in Japan, Women and the Biwa Tradition, Comparing Japans Shifting Product Liability,
The Japanese Sense of Architectural Space, The Origins of Japanese Deflation, Fear and
Yearning of Manga Japan in Australia, and Coping with North Koreas Nuclear Crisis
(www.jsaa.info).
The JSAA also publishes a major journal, Japanese Studies, three times a year through
Taylor and Francis of the United Kingdom and the United States. The journal is held in high
regard internationally.
As reflected in the entries in Part III of the directory, there is a large research output
from the Japanese studies profession in Australia and New Zealand (see Jain 1998).
Japanese studies in Australia and New Zealand has a distinctly contemporary edge,
having grown rapidly over the last 40 years to meet the demand for literacy in dealing with
the postwar growth of the economic and political relationship between Australia and Japan.
The interests in, and perspectives on, Japan reflected in Australian research are different

from those in North America, Europe or East Asia. The growth of Japanese studies has been
supported by the universities that provide a home for it and by the community from which the
students are drawn. Governments and their agencies have also, in the past, recognised Japans
high economic and professional value to contemporary Australian and New Zealand society
and encouraged the growth of Japanese as well as other areas of Asian studies.
There has been a complementary growth in the numbers studying Japanese in schools,
from primary levels through to matriculation, with approximately 425,000 Australian school
children having some exposure to the Japanese language (Erebus Consulting Partners 2002).
This development has naturally had a significant impact on the structure and quality of teaching
of Japanese in universities, as well as on the study of Japan more broadly. Nowhere is this
symbolised more poignantly than in the hundreds of community-supported exchange programs
for year-abroad study by Australian and New Zealand school children and other students.
There is a great deal of complementarity, as well as competition, among the core areas
of Japanese studies among institutions in Australia. Queensland University (under Associate
Professor Nanette Gottlieb) has a strong language and contemporary society research base,
including its highly respected program for simultaneous interpreters. Sydney Universitys
program (headed by Professor Hugh Clarke) has been well known for its strengths in Japanese
literature. The Australian National University hosts the AustraliaJapan Research Centre
(headed at the time of the survey by Professor Gordon de Brouwer), among the worlds
leading think tanks on the Japanese economy and its role in the Asia Pacific economy. It also
hosts research groups within the Japan Centre for language and other Japan-related teaching
(headed by Professor Jenny Corbett), as well as history, law and politics (in the Research
School of Pacific and Asian Studies and the Faculty of Law). The University of New South
Wales (Dr Kinoshita Thomson), Monash (Professor Ross Mouer), Melbourne (Professor
Bill Coaldrake), Adelaide (Professor Purnendra Jain) and Western Australia (Dr Tomoko
Nakamatsu) also have large established programs of teaching and research in different areas.
QUT (under the leadership of Dr Barbara Bourke) and Macquarie University (under Dr
Susie Chow) are at the international forefront of research into the application of web-based
technologies in the teaching of Japanese. There is a strong research presence hand-in-hand
with different teaching strengths at the University of Western Sydney, the University of New
England (on Japanese music), Murdoch University and most institutions across the country.
Challenges and future directions

Japans position as the leading area of Asian studies and language studies in Australian
universities and the school system faces a number of challenges and these will intensify over
the next decade or two.
First, Japans position in the region and the world is changing significantly. China and
other East Asian countries are growing in importance relative to Japan. Japan is developing
new and complex relationships with its neighbours in Asia and its role in world affairs is
changing. These developments inevitably affect the environment in which Japanese studies
programs in Australia are evolving. The interaction between Japan and other East Asian
societies is becoming a more prominent focus of interest. Australias position in Asia and the
Pacific is also changing and under scrutiny.

Essays AUS
After a big expansion of Japanese studies in Australia and New Zealand in the 1980s,
student numbers have plateaued and there are pressures on staffing leading to attrition of the
professoriate in both language and other fields of specialisation. (Among 192 Japan specialists
in Australia, there are currently 14 professorial-level specialists, of whom around one-third
have recently retired and others are soon to retire. This is of considerable concern because
of the implications for future leadership of the profession.) Partly this attrition in the profession
is a product of perceptions of the diminishing importance of Japan. These trends are not yet
deeply entrenched but they make predictions about the future of Japanese studies in Australia
problematic.
Second, most universities have gone through heavy restructuring, with increased emphasis
on delivering teaching and research resources to where the growth in demand for courses is
located. Increased demand for international studies courses does not automatically translate
into support for core specialisations such as Japanese studies, in the competition for resources
within institutions. Whether deep specialisation in the Japan field is maintained in the face of
these trends depends on conceptions of academic philosophy, organisational structures within
universities and the level of advocacy from academic leaders in the Japanese studies profession.
These two developments have been accompanied by a big shift in the composition of
the student body enrolled in Japanese studies programs. Importantly, there has been a sharp
rise in the intake of foreign students into Japanese studies programs in Australian universities.
A powerful trend is for foreign students, especially from Asia but also from Europe and North
America, to undertake professional and other studies in Australias English-language-study
environment, but to combine that with Japanese language and, to a lesser extent, Japanrelated courses. This trend impacts back on Japanese studies programs, with a growing
requirement for specialisations that situate Japan in its regional context. These students also
tend not to enrol in advanced Japanese studies courses.
Institutional issues
In the preparation of the essays for inclusion in this volume, a number of institutional issues
were noted. Many of the problems affecting the state of Japanese studies also affect other
Asian languages and Asian studies more broadly, and there is a challenge in working through
university channels and professional associations to take these issues forward in public
discussion. There is a strong and growing call for the elevation and upgrading of Asian studies
programs, but it does not yet have effective policy-level expression.
This may change. There is a revival of support within national security, economic and
business circles for increased investment in Asian studies. The reality is that resources have
been declining. The falling away of enrolments in Japan studies is taking place in the context
of a substantial growth of enrolments in other programs at Australian universities. Although
many universities have policies of internationalisation, the focus is on attracting international
students rather than on languages courses. There is much that has to be done continuously in
order to persuade policymakers and university administrators of the importance of Asian
studies, exchanges with Asia, Australias standing in the region, Asias priority in Australian
economic and security interests, and the need to maintain literacy in Asian languages.
Restructuring within universities has had several effects on Japanese studies. In some
institutions, Japanese studies has been marginalised in broader schools and centres, and there
15
is a sense of loss of identity for Japan specialists. This has also created funding problems, and
a feeling that the climate of Japanese studies at any point in time depends on the current
attitude of university administrators and leaders in the broader community. In some cases,
restructuring has had positive effects, such as at the University of Western Sydney, allowing
course coordination across campuses. In others it has had negative effects, with a loss of
core Japan specialisation. The big issue is how to mobilise resources to maintain professional
depth in more generalist programs where inter-faculty competition for students is intense.
Some international studies programs encourage a language specialisation (for example, in
QUT); others do not.
University restructuring often raises staffing issues such as the casualisation of language
teaching, the difficulty of replacing senior staff, the decline of Japan-related courses and the
heavy workloads placed on staff. These factors contribute to low staff morale in some
institutions, and a decline in research output. These issues are being confronted in different
ways in different institutions and it will be useful separately to review success stories as well
as problems.
Innovation in teaching
Despite an overall decline in student numbers, enrolments in Japanese language courses
have risen, especially at smaller universities. New programs are being created to attract
more students, and while wide gaps in proficiency are a problem for language teachers, there
are several ways that this is being overcome, such as by splitting spoken and written streams,
creating bridging courses and offering more advanced courses. Japanese language courses
are being updated to introduce new material, to accommodate the needs of students from
diverse study backgrounds, and to cater more to career-oriented students. Many institutions
have quite comprehensive programs of non-language Japan-related studies, while others
primarily focus on language. There is a strong push to create more options for students and to
make learning more flexible, such as with the use of modern technology and the Internet.
The efforts to create more interest in Japanese studies, such as by increasing subject
offerings, and offering courses combining Japan-related courses with other areas, such as
China, Korea and Asia, are important in this context. As many more students are of Asian
background they like to study Japan in its Asian context. Several institutions make use of cocurricular factors to encourage Japanese studies, for example by organising exchange programs
and undergraduate clubs.
Significant innovations in teaching methods using new technologies are greatly
strengthening programs across the country. As the push for flexible learning continues, the
use of new technologies and the Internet in teaching will continue to increase. The publication
and diffusion of this technology from institution to institution is of urgent interest. The technology
is very costly to develop, set up and maintain. This involves not only the cost of the
infrastructure itself, but also staff time to set it up and manage it. Staff and students have to
develop adequate technical expertise. One serious issue is that the effort staff put in to create
such programs is not fully acknowledged in research reward systems in the same way as for
a publication.

Other issues
In almost all institutions the composition of Japanese classes has undergone significant change.
The most important change is the growth in the number of international students, mostly from
Asia, especially at the earlier levels. Increasingly students are specialising less in Japanese
language and Japanese studies and choosing to combine Japanese and other studies as they
undertake double degrees. Many students from other faculties take Japanese out of interest,
or for experience, but do not necessarily continue. This is a problem for advanced training in
the profession.
In some cases there are barriers to students in contemplating the study of Japan. These
include reduced interest at secondary level, negative news about the Japanese economy, and
restrictions in other faculties that lock students out of Japanese.
At some institutions honours and postgraduate student numbers remain high, while at
others several factors make it difficult to encourage further study in Japanese studies. There
is a general need to offer more courses at higher levels. The Australian National University
has had a special role in fostering postgraduate study in Australia not only through the strength
of its own programs but also through support for graduate study nationwide. However, there
is a question about how to fulfill that role in the future.
Another issue is the pressure on PhD scholarship holders to complete their degree in
three to four years. There is a need for education administrators to recognise the additional
dimension of postgraduate work in Japanese studies and provide special support for field
studies.
The combining of resources and expertise between institutions, and cooperation between
universities has much potential. Specialisation across institutions creates complementarity
that allows for cross-institutional research and teaching cooperation, especially in major cities.
Institutional impediments to cooperation and a lack of leadership from senior members of the
profession may explain why opportunities for developing cross-institutional programs are not
being fully realised, despite the development and diffusion of new technologies.
Conclusion
Despite these issues, Australia and New Zealand remain the scene of a large, vibrant and
diverse Japanese studies profession. This has been built on the high value that the community
from which students are drawn has placed on Japanese studies in the universities, the
encouragement of governments and their agencies, and the support of the institutions in
which programs are located.
The way that the profession and the broader community (including governments and
the universities) respond to the challenges facing Japanese studies over the next decade or
two will be critical. It will determine whether the creativity and energy that has typified
Australian and New Zealand studies of Japan in the past will continue to do so into the future.

Japan-related teaching and research is carried out in several parts of the ANU. The main
teaching location is the Faculty of Asian Studies, while there is extensive research and graduate
training in the Asia Pacific School of Economics and Government through the Australia
Japan Research Centre and the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies.
The Japan Centre in the Faculty of Asian Studies teaches undergraduate Japanese
language and linguistics. In the same faculty, the Centre for Asian Societies and Histories
offers courses in Japanese history and contemporary Japanese society, taken by students
specialising in Japanese and those studying other Asian languages and cultures. The Faculty
of Economics and Commerce and the Faculty of Law offer Japan-related courses, as does
the Faculty of Arts on occasion, when Japanese politics is taught if resources are available.
Two other concentrations of Japan expertise within the ANU make major contributions to
teaching, postgraduate supervision and research. Within the Research School of Pacific and
Asian Studies (RSPAS) the Division of Pacific and Asian History, the Department of
International Relations and the Department of Social and Political Change cover their respective
fields. In 1998 a significant institutional change saw the creation of the Asia Pacific School of
Economics and Management (APSEM), which became the Asia Pacific School of Economics
and Government (APSEG) in 2003. The AustraliaJapan Research Centre (AJRC), which
had previously been a part of APSEM and earlier the RSPAS, became one of the key
components of APSEG. The AJRC continues to house a concentration of expertise and
resources in economics, Asia Pacific trade and finance, governance and international relations.
Together the Japan components of RSPAS and APSEG augment the faculties undergraduate
programs and represent a large proportion of postgraduate Japan-related scholarship in
Australia.
In 2001 the ANU created national institutes to draw together related activities across
different parts of the campus. The National Institute for Asia and the Pacific (NIAP) hosts
a website which acts as a portal to Asia-related research and teaching at the ANU, including
on Japan. The institute also organises conferences, lectures and seminars. One purpose of
NIAP is to link undergraduate teaching with postgraduate courses and research so that
students are aware of pathways to continue their studies at higher levels and are exposed to
advanced research from an early stage in their degrees. This is expected to lead to closer
links between the university areas where undergraduate studies are concentrated and those
that specialise in postgraduate teaching. It is also expected to foster closer links between
researchers, including in the Japan field.

The Japan Centre

The key challenge over the last five years has been to cope with reductions in staff numbers
while student numbers have fallen only slightly. Coverage in some subjects, notably literature
and classical Japanese, has been reduced and the remaining staff offer fewer specialist and
non-language courses to cover the language teaching. The continued growth in students with
prior language background necessitated further modification of the language curriculum. Rapid
growth in the Year-in-Japan program and the number of other exchanges with Japanese
universities also required continued administration and negotiation.
Undergraduate students
The well-known tsunami in Japanese language enrolments hit the ANU in 1988, and Japanese
is still the largest language program today. Recent enrolments in the Japan Centres language
courses have remained at approximately 140 equivalent full-time students. In 2004, 128 students
enrolled in Spoken Japanese I (new enrolments are higher than this because some students
enter at higher levels). Combined degrees incorporating the Bachelor of Asian Studies are
also popular and Japanese attracts a high proportion of students from other faculties. Greater
flexibility in the curriculum has permitted these students to pace their Japanese units flexibly
through their longer course, for example by taking intermediate spoken and written units over
two years instead of one.
Degree structures
The core degree in Asian studies is the general, three-year Bachelor of Asian Studies degree
of 144 units, which includes at least 48 units of a language major and at least 36 units of a
non-language conceptual/analytical major (Asian history, Asian religions, contemporary Asian
societies, Asian politics, security and international relations, or Japanese linguistics). The
remaining 60 units are courses from the Faculty of Asian Studies or from other faculties, 12
units of which must be directly relevant to either the Asian language or conceptual Asian
studies majors. A completed degree must also include 96 advanced-level units. Native speakers
may not normally take a language major in their own language. In addition, a specialist (fouryear) degree is available, which includes a year (typically the third) of study at a university in
Japan (or the relevant Asian country for other languages). Asian studies may be taken as a
combined degree with most other faculty degrees. In 2004 the Faculty of Asian Studies
introduced three new degrees (Bachelor of Translation, Bachelor of Religions, Bachelor of
Security Studies) and cooperated with the Faculty of Economics and Commerce for a fourth,
the Bachelor of International Business (Asia) with a compulsory component of Asian language
study. Each of these new degrees retains, at a minimum, a major in an Asian language at its
core and there is flexibility to increase the language component to more advanced levels.
Honours
An honours program is available to encourage students of high calibre to deepen their
involvement in a chosen field of study. The degree with honours involves additional coursework
and a research dissertation of 15,000 to 20,000 words.
20

Courses
The 48-unit major in Japanese is normally spread over four semesters (two years). Spoken
and written language is taught in separate sequences. Students who already know some
Japanese are placed in courses corresponding to their ability. Students who wish to study
Japanese beyond the level of the core sequence have a number of advanced courses to
choose from, focusing on both written and spoken Japanese. Nevertheless, the phenomenon
of mixed-ability classes remains a significant challenge. The organisation of the basic
curriculum and detailed list of courses may be found on the Faculty of Asian Studies website.
The Japan Centres reputation in Japanese linguistics and applied linguistics has been maintained
and strong cooperation continues with the Department of Linguistics in the Faculty of Arts
and with linguists in other centres of the Faculty of Asian Studies. The centre currently offers
courses in Japanese Grammar, Japanese Lexicon, Japanese Linguistics, Japanese Phonetics
and Phonology, and Teaching Japanese: Content and Method. A major in Japanese linguistics
was established in the faculty in 1996. A restructured Postgraduate Diploma/MA in Japanese
Applied Linguistics was introduced in 1993 consisting of a first (diploma) year made up of
coursework units taken in the Japan Centre and in the Department of Linguistics, and a
second year requiring a sub-thesis for candidates who complete the coursework at a sufficiently
high level.
Staff changes have meant reduced offerings in literature, but centre staff now offer
two new courses in history, through the Centre for Asian Histories and Societies (History of
Modern Japan: Imperial Japan 18951945; Samurai Society and Social Control in Japan) and
a new course on Japanese economic development since World War II. The post in Japanese
politics, previously housed in the Faculty of Arts, has not been refilled and the offering of a
course on Japans politics is not regular. An initiative in 2003 allowed a video-conference
course on Japanese politics to be offered jointly with Keio University. The post in Japanese
law has been retained as a joint appointment between the Faculties of Asian Studies and Law
and this provides a course on Japanese law and society.
Exchange programs and Year-in-Japan

The Year-in-Japan course operates as a component of the specialist four-year Bachelor of
Asian Studies (Japanese) degree. Selection is based primarily on academic performance.
Students undertaking the course typically spend their third year (later, in the case of combined
degree students) studying in Japan. The program currently involves language and disciplinary
study at a Japanese university, an essay on a research project that is carried out while in
country, and a written (kanji) test upon returning to the ANU. Higher-level language courses
focusing on academic Japanese and translation are available to returning students in their
fourth year (later, in the case of combined degree students). The Japan Centre has the
largest exchange program in the Faculty of Asian Studies with arrangements either on a
university or a faculty basis with 18 Japanese tertiary institutions: Chiba, Gakushuin,
Hitotsubashi, Kansai, Keio, Kyoto Foreign Studies, Tokyo Foreign Studies, Kyoto Seika, Chuo,
Nanzan, Osaka, Tohoku, Tsuda, Tsukuba, Kanazawa, Waseda, Showa Joshi and Yokohama
National. The majority of these exchanges have been concluded in the last five years.
21
Scholarship support remains an issue although over half of the exchange partner universities
are able to offer their own scholarship or access Association for International Education
Japan (AIEJ), Heiwa-Nakajima or Monbusho scholarships.
Graduate students
In 2004 there were 11 PhD students attached to the Japan Centre in Japanese and Asian
linguistics and in Japanese literature and history. The Postgraduate Diploma/MA in Japanese
Applied Linguistics attracts similar numbers. The program has attracted approximately 20
students from Australia and overseas since 1993, with the majority successfully completing
the masters degree. In addition to the graduate program in East Asian studies (which includes
the Japanese applied linguistics program as one stream), centre staff have contributed
supervision to the graduate programs in linguistics and Southeast Asian studies. The Faculty
of Asian Studies graduate diploma and masters courses also attract students specialising on
Japan.
Staff
There have been several changes of staff during the last six years, with recent senior
appointments in economics and history. Staff numbers in the Japan Centre have fallen from
nine at the time of the 1997 Directory of Japanese Studies in Australia and New Zealand
to five and a half, of whom five contribute significantly to the language program. One halftime appointment is shared with APSEG and another Japan-related appointment is halfshared with the Faculty of Law. One half-time appointment in the Centre for Asian Histories
and Societies is also a Japan specialist. The staffstudent ratio in the language program of
approximately 1:25 (on an equivalent full-time basis) falls some way below the recommended
norm for this area, and the Japan Centre remains dependent on additional part-time staff to
help deliver Japanese language courses. Staff research has nevertheless been maintained at
a strong level: centre staff have published in refereed journals and have produced four books
over the last three years.
The Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies

Research in RSPAS covers a broad range of Asia-related issues, reflecting the scale and
diversity of divisions and centres within the school. Research areas include Japans relations
with Asia and questions of national identity and citizenship, political and international relations,
and, more recently, security studies. A core MA in East Asian Studies (covering Japan,
China and Korea) is jointly convened by the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies
and the Faculty of Asian Studies, with contributions from specialists across the university.
There are regular meetings of cross-campus reading groups for postgraduate students working
on Japan. Graduate programs at the ANU are all currently within the one graduate school.
Students are attached to particular departments or centres where the chair of their supervisory
committee is located but they are also registered in subject-defined graduate programs.
Combined with the ANUs system of multi-member supervisory panels, this has the effect of
involving staff from different parts of the university in cooperative supervision. The ANU
has the largest concentration in Australia of postgraduate students studying Japan at doctoral
level. The university also provides vacation scholarships for potential postgraduate students
to spend some months in Canberra using ANU resources for research.

Pacific and Asian History
The Division of Pacific and Asian History offers a concentration of expertise and access to
resources in modern Japanese history, under the direction of Professor Tessa Morris-Suzuki.
The division also provides supervision for a number of doctoral students in topics such as The
Tokugawa Social Status System, Research on Early Modern Japanese Low Status Groups,
Batchelor Yaeko: A Life, Local History and the Centre in Japan 194560, and The Japanese
Presence on Guam from Meiji Nanshinron to the Pacific War.
International Relations
The Division of Politics and International Relations has one specialist, Professor John Ravenhill,
who covers Japan-related issues. The division also hosts several doctoral students undertaking
work on such diverse Japan-related topics as The Nature of Japanese Leadership in East
Asia, The Expansion of European International Society and the Socialisation of China and
Japan, and Searching for Autonomy in Japanese Foreign Policy.
The Asia Pacific School of Economics and Government

The Asia Pacific School of Economics and Government was established in 2003 as an
amalgamation of the National Centre for Development Studies, the AustraliaJapan Research
Centre and the graduate program in public policy. This provides a vibrant collection of research
and postgraduate teaching resources in international and development economics, public policy
and governance, and environmental and infrastructure management focused on the Asia
Pacific region.

The AustraliaJapan Research Centre coordinates graduate research on Japan-related subjects
in the fields of economics, international trade and finance, and international relations. Professor
Gordon de Brouwer, executive director of the centre to March 2004, and Professors Jenny
Corbett and Peter Drysdale are undertaking research on the Japanese economy and Japans
role in the East Asian and Pacific economy. Professor Christopher Findlay and Dr Ligang
Song undertake related work on the regional economy. The centre undertakes a range of
major research programs, including some in cooperation with Japanese and East Asian
universities and research institutes, such as its ongoing project with the Japanese Ministry of
Finance on future financial arrangements in East Asia. It regularly hosts visiting fellows from
Japan and other East Asian countries. In 2004 there will be three senior visitors from Japan
in residence at the centre. Since the centres establishment in 1980, 44 students have been
awarded doctorates. At present there are eight PhD students studying at the centre. Research
being undertaken by centre associates and PhD students encompasses such topical issues as
Deflation in Japan, Equity Markets in East Asia and Japanese Financial Reform.
The AJRC also houses the Australian secretariats for the Pacific Trade and Development
Conference (PAFTAD), the Pacific Basin Economic Council (PBEC) and the Pacific
Economic Cooperation Council (PECC). It maintains links with universities, centres,
governments and agencies in China, Taiwan and Korea, ASEAN and the United States as
part of its commitment to JapanAustralia research in a wider Asia Pacific context. Research
is guided by a committee of distinguished academics and enhanced by public seminars. The
23
centre regularly hosts international scholars and policymakers as research visitors. Apart
from the concentration of expertise on the Japanese economy in the AJRC, APSEG made an
appointment introducing Japanese politics to its public policy and governance program in
2004.
Other
An additional development has been the establishment of the National Graduate School of
Management that grew out of the program on managing business in Asia, formerly located
within the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies. The NGSM draws on Japan both
as a case model in the subject offerings and as a source of academic experts in the field who
teach regularly in the program. Japanese corporations place their employees in the program
and also host Australian and Asian candidates in the program during their work placement
phase.
Future prospects
Australian universities continue to be under financial and governance pressure. The result is
that a premium is placed both on student enrolments (increasingly foreign student enrolments)
and on research output, creating a serious tension for staff in a major research university
expected to provide first-class language and discipline teaching. This is true of both
undergraduate and postgraduate studies. It is clear, given the continuing high level of student
demand for Japanese language courses, that the major priority of the Japan Centre remains
the provision of a high-quality Japanese language program, and the success of its operations
is of central importance for the welfare of the Faculty of Asian Studies as a whole. For staff
engaged in these activities it is anomalous that much of the effort they put into developing
new teaching methods and materials is not recognised as equivalent to research output and
does not attract the matching funding of conventional publications. Similarly the failure to
treat works of translation as allowable submissions for research assessment unfairly penalises
teachers and researchers in language and literature fields.
The continuing popularity of combined degrees reflects the need in todays environment
for students to acquire multiple skills. The challenge is to avoid the danger that students gain
too little expertise in too many areas. So far the balance has been carefully maintained at the
ANU by increasing the flexibility in teaching patterns to allow students to incorporate difficult
and time-consuming language units into their broader study schedule. This eases the tendency
for language learning to dominate study time, but at the same time keeps well-defined rules
about the structure of degrees so that coverage is not diluted in either language or nonlanguage majors. The tertiary sector continues to be expected to provide diverse language
and area-related courses as well as opportunities for in-country experience, and to facilitate
application of Japanese language skills to substantive research in disciplines such as economics,
politics, history, linguistics and law. All this will strengthen and maintain a national capacity
for intellectual engagement in Japanese. The continued shrinking of government funding
places considerable pressure on staff, who are forced to devote more time to teaching students
and developing new curricula and less to research. This exacerbates the tendency for graduates
to move into the private sector rather than to undertake further studies and pursue a career in
academia. Unattractive academic salaries add to the problem. Filling the next generation of
24
Essays AUS
academic posts across the field poses a difficult problem. At the ANU the pooling of resources
and intra-university cooperation between the research schools and the faculties is being actively
pursued so that these pressures can be dealt with most effectively to give students the best
educational service possible.

The University of Canberras Japanese program is within the modern languages program of
the School of Languages and International Education, Division of Communication and
Education. The program units cater for a variety of interests and levels of previous study.
Exchange agreements with eight Japanese universities enable almost all students to include a
year of study in Japan in their course. The program also offers individualised project units
allowing students to specialise in a particular area.
Degree structures
Until 1998 the University of Canberra offered a degree in Japanese language studies within
the Bachelor of Modern Languages. Students took half their subjects from the Japanese
language program, including six Japanese language units and four translation units. They
were also able to take Japanese for Tourism as an elective to give their language studies a
more vocational slant. In 1998 the Bachelor of Modern Languages degree was abolished and
students were not able to pursue Japanese to the same extent. Instead students were only
able to take between one and six semesters of Japanese as part of another degree. In 2003
only half of the degrees at the University of Canberra allowed students to do any Japanese.
To assist students who were not able to enrol in Japanese because of the requirements
of their degree, a Diploma in Languages was introduced in 2003. This is a six-semester
undergraduate course that can be added to any degree and allows students to study Japanese
to the extent that they want. The diploma can be started at any time during a degree but
cannot be added at the end. It adds another year to a three-year degree and has proved an
enticing, flexible option for a number of reasons: students can take as much Japanese language
study as they wish; they can start the diploma at any point during their degree; and the course
is HECS based.
Since 1999 the university has offered a Graduate Diploma in Languages. This diploma
is the graduate equivalent of the Diploma in Languages and has the same structure. Students
can start their language study at any level. The more advanced the level at which students
start, the more space in the diploma they have for individually tailored project subjects. A
range of students has completed the Graduate Diploma in Languages including those starting
from scratch and others starting at more advanced levels.
In 2004 the university will offer a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies for the first
time. In this degree it will be compulsory to study one of the three languages that the University
of Canberra offers Japanese, Spanish or Chinese or students may take other languages
at The Australian National University.

Undergraduate students
Like at many other Australian universities, student numbers at the University of Canberra
have fluctuated since the exciting days of the tsunami in the late 1980s when numbers were
at their highest.
Students studying Japanese come from a wide variety of disciplines, including those
undertaking degrees in arts, education, communication, journalism, public relations, marketing,
banking and finance, law, tourism, information technology and engineering. Until 2003 these
students were restricted in the amount of Japanese their degrees allowed and student numbers
at the more advanced levels had been decreasing.
The late 1990s saw an increase in the number of students who had studied some Japanese
at high school or had spent a year in Japan. This increase led to the establishment of an
advanced year of study (equivalent to fourth-year Japanese) that enabled students starting in
the second year of Japanese to do a major of six semesters. Despite a large number of
students with previous study going into second-year Japanese, a handful of students still find
that they do not have the necessary language skills to start at second-year level. There has
been a wide range of competencies in the students who have completed high school or
college Japanese in the ACT, almost corresponding to the different high school programs. A
dovetailing between secondary-level and tertiary Japanese would be desirable so that students
do not have to repeat material taught over a number of years.
Courses
The Japanese program offers language subjects ranging from beginners (Japanese 1A:
Language and Culture) to advanced. Students at more advanced levels can also pursue their
own projects in semester-long individually tailored Japanese studies units supervised by one
or both of the programs staff. These units offer students the flexibility to pursue their particular
interests. Subjects to date have covered translations of a variety of books, translations of
anthologies of tanka, critiques of aspects of Japanese education in Australia and the creation
of Japanese language materials for different levels of students.
Exchange programs
The University of Canberra has exchange agreements with eight universities in Japan: Kansai
Gaidai, Yamaguchi University, Okayama University, Fukuoka University of Education,
University of the Ryukyus, Sophia University, Tokyo Gakugei University and Nara Womens
University. Selected students are sent on year-long exchanges to these universities. Most of
the students are the recipients of Japanese government (Monbusho) or Association for
International Education Japan (AIEJ) scholarships, although recently a number of students
have travelled to Japan under the auspices of the University Mobility in Asia and the Pacific
(UMAP) program that has provided grants of A$5,000. While at Japanese universities, students
enrol in language and culture subjects specifically designed for overseas students. Credit is
given for satisfactory completion of these subjects.
As the number of students wishing to go on these exchanges has been greater than the
number of scholarships available, the exchange program has become quite competitive. New
27
government-funded loans (OS-HELP) will also be an option for some students. The challenge
facing the University of Canberra has been to achieve a balance between the numbers of
ingoing and outgoing students in accordance with government regulations. Many more students
want to come from Japan to study at the University of Canberra than the reverse, and the
university has had to reject some students from Japan.
Graduate students
The average number of students enrolled in the graduate diploma has been four or five each
year. Students enrolled in other postgraduate degrees have also participated in graduate-level
Japanese subjects.
Staff
Since the publication of the 1997 Directory of Japanese Studies in Australia and New
Zealand a large number of staff who had made significant contributions to the Japanese
language programs have now left. These include the former head of the Japanese program,
Mr Iain McDougall, Ms Hiroko Viney, the late Ms Tomoko Tsuda, Ms Mari Kitasaka, Ms
Naoko Hanamura, Ms Yumi Eto and Ms Kazuko Sawada.
The two full-time members of staff, Dr Nicolette Bramley (convenor of the Japanese
language program) and Dr Yuko Kinoshita, conducted all the Japanese language teaching in
2003.
Research
Dr Bramleys research interests include the study of pronouns in Australian political media
interviews, language and gender, and Japanese language education in Australia. She is involved
in a teaching grant focusing on the development of listening resources for students of Japanese.
Dr Bramley has also taught and lectured on her research in the areas of applied linguistics
and discourse analysis in the Master of Arts in TESOL.
Dr Kinoshitas expertise is in Japanese forensic speaker identification. Her research
interests involve estimation of the magnitude of within-speaker and between-speaker variation
in various acoustic parameters, further searches for promising linguistic and acoustic
parameters for forensic speaker identification, and testing the robustness of speaker
discrimination under forensically realistic conditions using the Bayesian likelihood ratio
work commenced in the PhD thesis she submitted in 2001. She has been involved in joint
projects with researchers from other institutions, including Dr Phil Rose at the Australian
National University and Mr Takashi Osanai at the Forensic Laboratory, Miyagi Prefectural
Police Headquarters in Japan. The results of these projects have been published.
Future prospects
Reductions in government funding have led to pressure to cut programs and subjects that do
not fulfil their student quotas. The Japanese program falls into this category and this pressure
has led the School of Languages and International Education to think creatively about how to
attract new students to Japanese. It is hoped that the creation of undergraduate and graduate
diplomas in languages and the BA in International Studies will increase student numbers and
put Japanese language studies in a more secure position.

The Japanese studies program at Macquarie University Sydney was introduced in 1988, at a
time of remarkable expansion of Japanese studies in Australia the so-called tsunami
phenomenon. The program is now in its 16th year and its strength is growing in many areas.
Previously located within the School of Modern Languages, along with 12 other language
programs, a recent restructuring placed it with the Chinese program in the new Department
of Asian Languages in the Division of Humanities. Of the 13 languages that Macquarie
offers, Japanese traditionally attracts the largest number of students, although the Chinese
studies program is now a similar size. Japanese studies, however, has the largest number of
staff.
Undergraduate studies
Undergraduate units are strongly focused on the acquisition of high-level language skills. In
order to broaden students knowledge of Japan, units are also offered in the areas of Japanese
history, traditional and contemporary culture, current affairs, economics and politics. Literature
units introduce both pre-modern and modern works.
Increasingly students are reaching university with varying levels of Japanese language
proficiency. To meet the needs of all students within a three-year degree program, entry
points are provided at three levels. Language units are offered by semester in a sequence of
eight levels. Separate skills-based units, such as units for spoken skills, writing skills, composition
and translation, support the core language units. This system allows students with different
levels of language skills the flexibility to design their programs according to their needs.
There was a sudden drop in undergraduate enrolments immediately after the 1997
Asian economic crisis. Enrolments have been increasing gradually, but have not yet recovered
to the 1997 level. The decline in student numbers has also been caused by structural changes
within the university. Macquarie Universitys academic structure allows students the flexibility
to undertake interdisciplinary studies, including language studies. Under this system students
from many disciplines have enrolled in Japanese studies. Economics and finance students
made up the largest group, followed by education and linguistics. Tighter budgetary conditions
in recent years have led some disciplines to increase the number of compulsory units required
to earn a major. Consequently, students have found it harder to combine their major study
with a language. In an attempt to overcome this problem, some core language units will be
offered online to minimise timetable clashes with units in other disciplines.
Enrolments in the Japanese Studies BA (Hons) program have been constant. Students
are encouraged to undertake at least one semester at a partner university in Japan. The
results have been pleasing, with a number of good theses produced in recent years.
29
Postgraduate studies
In the last few years, Japanese studies at Macquarie has seen a significant growth in the
number of candidates enrolling in postgraduate research programs. Approximately 30
candidates are currently working toward an MA (Hons) or a PhD.
Postgraduate research programs are offered in three different modes: on-campus,
external and offshore in Japan. The most recently introduced offshore mode is unique, as it
allows MA (Hons) candidates to stay in Japan during the entire period of their candidature.
Six to eight seminars are conducted each year: two by a visiting academic and the remainder
by video conferencing. The program enjoys a partnership with the Asahi Culture Centre,
which provides its facilities in Tokyo for seminars and video conferencing. Valuable support
also comes from the Asahi Shimbun: a number of its senior staff, both current and retired,
join the seminars as academic advisors.
Graduate training programs

Three programs are currently offered for professional training of graduates: the Graduate
Diploma in Japanese, Graduate Certificate in Introductory Japanese Teaching and Graduate
Certificate of Japanese Corporate Training.
The first two programs are designed to help existing and would-be teachers upgrade
their language skills and knowledge in Japanese-specific teaching methodology. The Graduate
Certificate in Introductory Japanese Teaching was introduced in 2000 to address the critical
shortage of Japanese language teachers, particularly at the primary school level. This yearlong program established by Macquarie University, the Japan Foundation Language Centre
and the New South Wales Department of Education and Training allowed students to take
three language units online. After the successful completion of the units, students travelled to
the Japan Foundation Language Centre at Urawa for intensive language and methodology
study. The cultural component of the study also included trips to Kyoto and Nara. The
Department of Education and Training put forward the candidates and funded fees and travel.
A lack of funds led the Department of Education and Training to withdraw from the
arrangement and the program was put on hold.
The third program, the Graduate Certificate for Japanese Corporate Training, has been
designed to give graduates the opportunity to work as interns in a leading corporation or a
municipal government in Japan. The sponsoring organisations include the Yasuda Fire and
Marine Insurance, Japan Airlines, Nifco and a number of municipal governments in the
Fukushima prefecture.
Japanese Studies Centre for Teaching Development (MJS Centre)

The Macquarie Japanese Studies Centre for Teaching Development (the MJS Centre) was
established in 1995 with substantial funding from the Nippon Foundation. Although the centre
is housed in the Division of Humanities, it is an independent unit under its own management
committee chaired by the vice-chancellor. Built on the teaching strengths of the Japanese
studies section, the centre focuses its activities in three major areas:
30
Essays AUS
support for teachers and teaching of Japanese in the community;
development of innovative teaching resources; and
contribution to the community.
The MJS centre offers a number of scholarships each year. Initially, scholarships went
mainly to teachers and trainee teachers of Japanese. In recent years, however, students from
other areas who wish to pursue postgraduate research work have been increasingly successful
in obtaining a scholarship.
The centre also enables Japanese studies staff to devote their time to developing creative
teaching resources. Currently activities in this area are focused on the creation of teaching
resources that can be delivered online.
Centre for Japanese Economic Studies (CJES)

The Centre for Japanese Economic Studies was established in 1991 by the late Professor
Victor Argy. It is an independent research unit located within the Division of Economic and
Financial Studies of Macquarie University. The centre encourages research into and study of
the Japanese economy. To this end it promotes scholarly exchange and analysis, public events
and course offerings. The centres biennial conference draws world-renowned scholars
together to discuss pressing issues regarding the Japanese economy. Edited volumes of the
1996, 1998 and 2000 conferences are available in print from Edward Elgar Publishing. Regular
seminars yield CJES research papers that reach a worldwide audience of researchers and
institutions. Public outreach programs include public luncheons, media interviews and testimony
before parliamentary committees.
The CJES and MJS Centre often work together in joint projects. This partnership in
recent years has created a very successful double-degree program the Bachelor of Business
Administration/Japanese. This innovative program allows students to combine business skills,
language ability, and knowledge of Japanese economy, institutions and social structure. The
program also includes a semester of in-country study at one of the partner universities of
Macquarie.
In-country programs
With the universitys strong push for internationalisation, Japanese studies in-country programs
have expanded significantly over the last 10 years. Macquarie now has active exchange
programs with 11 universities in Japan, including Waseda, Tokyo Metropolitan, Yokohama
National, Sophia and Ritsumeikan. Undergraduate students can spend one or two semesters
in one of these universities during their second or third year. All courses undertaken at a
Japanese university will count toward the students degree. Candidates for a postgraduate
research degree or a BA (Hons) are encouraged to spend at least a semester at a Japanese
university to access primary source materials and consult with Japanese academics.
In addition to exchange programs, two of the spoken language units are offered in
Japan. This option, although shorter in duration than the exchange program, gives students
the benefit of immersion in the language.
31
Macquarie also offers an MA (Hons) program offshore in Tokyo. Japanese candidates

in this program are of a high academic calibre: approximately one-third are junior and midranking academics in Japanese universities.
The administration of in-country programs used to place a heavy burden on Japanese
studies staff, but in recent years the universitys international office, Macquarie International,
has taken responsibility for some of the administration. Consequently, Japanese studies staff
can now focus more on the academic side of the program.
IT-assisted teaching and learning

The development of information technology has been remarkable in the last 10 years. The
Japanese studies program stays alert to developments in new technologies that can add an
extra dimension to conventional teaching and learning activities. For example, most
undergraduate units are now supported by a unit-specific website. These sites are created by
the universitys Centre for Flexible Learning, in consultation with the academic who teaches
the unit. All the sites are designed within the WebCT framework and facilitate interaction
between students and lecturers, discussion among students and online delivery of assignments
and other materials.
New technologies are extensively used in postgraduate research programs in all three
modes on-campus, external and offshore in Japan. For offshore candidates a videoconferencing system is extensively used to conduct face-to-face seminars and consultations.
A teleconferencing system provides similar benefits for external candidates. In addition, a
common website is provided for postgraduate research and BA (Hons) candidates. Regardless
of their location, all research candidates share a common virtual space, can access the same
information and can interact with fellow students. The website also promotes equity among
students in different modes, as it gives each direct access to his or her supervisor.
By far the largest project undertaken by the Japanese studies program and the MJS
Centre in recent years has been the creation of Gengoro. The Japanese studies section had
previously developed Kantaro, a kanji-learning CD-Rom, with technical support from Fujitsu
Australia. Building on this experience, in 1994 the MJS Centre began to develop Gengoro, a
multimedia package for online teaching. Since 2000 first-year Japanese language students
have had the option of studying through the fully online mode with the help of the Gengoro
CD-Rom, the Kantaro CD-Rom and Internet support. Macquarie was the first university in
Australia, and perhaps in the world, to offer the entire first-year Japanese program online.
The creation of Gengoro took six years and cost approximately half a million dollars.
The project received strong support from the university and from its Centre for Flexible
Learning.
Research
Approximately half the staff members focus their research in the pedagogy of the Japanese
language. Research areas of other members are extensive, including international relations,
law, modern history, media and education. Macquarie does not have many Japan experts
outside the Japanese studies program, with the exception of the Centre for Japanese Economic
Studies (CJES) in the Department of Economics, which has a strong research output in all
areas of the Japanese economy.

One unresolved issue for Japanese studies is that insufficient research value is given by
the universitys academic community to the publication of teaching resources, no matter how
innovative. Academics had spent enormous time and effort in research and investigation in
order to create the Kantaro and Gengoro programs. Although the universitys research
committee recognises these products as research output, recognition is not as forthcoming at
the promotional committee. This disadvantages staff members involved in these projects.
Graduate destinations
Personal contacts, correspondence and other sources confirm that Japanese studies graduates
move into jobs in teaching, finance, consultancy, information technology, the media and the
government, including the diplomatic corps. Fewer graduates are now seeking positions in
the hospitality industries.
Increasing numbers of graduates are now working in Japan. In recent years there has
been a notable increase in the number of Australian graduates finding positions in Japanese
multinationals like Canon and Sony. After training in Japan, some are transferred to offices
overseas, such as New York and London. Graduates who combine Japanese with other
specialities, such as business, law, media or information technology, seem to be more in
demand than those who major only in Japanese. Graduates who complete the Japanese
corporate training program are highly sought after by employers in Australia and Japan.
Issues and challenges

The Japanese studies program at Macquarie has weathered the recent storm of budget cuts,
university restructuring and the downturn in undergraduate enrolments, without losing staff
positions. There are now eight staff positions in Japanese studies, by far the largest of the
language programs at Macquarie. This has been achieved by introducing a number of innovative
programs in addition to the regular academic programs. The servicing of these programs is
becoming an issue and not all programs are earning sustainable revenue. Rationalisation is
considered imminent. Cutting back some of the programs, however, will also reduce revenue.
Without a significant increase in student enrolments, funding of staff positions will become a
significant challenge over the next few years.

At the University of Newcastle over the last six years there has been a marked decline in the
number of students studying Japanese. In 1996 more than 130 students were enrolled in the
first-year language program, but by 2003 this had declined to less than 50. This decline in
numbers has naturally had a flow-on effect to second- and third-year courses, where there
have been corresponding declines in numbers. In 1997 there were five full-time staff teaching
Japanese language but in 2004 there will only be two.
To a large extent the reasons for this decline can be found in nationwide trends. The
Japanese boom of the late 1980s and early 1990s expanded numbers in Japanese language
classes to a level that could not be sustained in the long term; Japans economic recession in
the 1990s took the gloss off Japanese as an academic discipline, as it was no longer seen by
many students as being particularly beneficial in finding employment; finally, changes in the
international and domestic political climate have led Australians to increasingly think of
themselves as apart from Asia. Local circumstances have amplified these general trends.
Despite the Hunter regions extensive trade links with Japan (particularly coal exports),
Newcastle does not have an ethnically diverse population and does not conceptualise itself as
a cosmopolitan or international city. This environment does not foster an interest in other
languages and cultures. Within the university itself, the close link between student numbers
and funding has encouraged the administrative units responsible for various degree programs
to increase the number of compulsory courses their students must take. This has had a
particularly negative impact on languages, with subjects like Japanese being excluded from
programs such as tourism, teaching and business that had been important sources of students.
One positive development was the restructuring of the university in 2001. Japanese
used to be located in the Department of Modern Languages within the Faculty of Arts and
Social Sciences, along with French, German and Chinese. Following the restructure a new
Faculty of Education and Arts was created and the languages were combined with linguistics,
speech pathology, English, creative writing and film studies to create a School of Language
and Media. The creation of the new school has allowed a number of new developments in
Japanese studies. The establishment of two new courses on Japanese culture taught in English
should have broader appeal than the language subjects. Japan-related components have also
been incorporated into courses in English (Classics of World Literature, Modern World
Literature, and Shakespeare in Film) and linguistics (Cross-cultural Communication, Language
and Identity as well as the Master of Applied Linguistics Translation Studies). A Japanese
language course has also been included in the MBA. The school is enthusiastic about promoting
relations with Japan and has fostered a number of exchange schemes with universities and
colleges in Japan. Students have the opportunity to study Japanese history courses in the
34
Essays AUS
School of Liberal Arts under Dr Beatrice Trefalt. Courses include Introduction to Modern
East Asia, History of Modern Japan, and Myth, Memory and War.
Although the last six years have been a testing time for Japanese studies at the University
of Newcastle, the school is very hopeful of brighter times ahead.

Hugh de Ferranti
Japanese studies at the University of New England is based in the School of Languages,
Cultures and Linguistics. Three full-time staff make up the Japanese language and culture
section. A number of staff in other schools and faculties with secondary expertise on Japan
teach and do research, although they are primarily known as researchers in other fields. The
research work of Japan specialists is principally in the fields of performing arts (particularly
music), and acquisition of Japanese language and cultural skills. Research and teaching by
non-specialists is in the areas of Japanese economic history and theory, and social history and
religion (Buddhist studies). In economic history and theory the legacies of Professor Tessa
Morris-Suzukis years at UNE, from 1981 to 1992, followed by the work of Emeritus Professor
Malcolm Falkus, are still significant.
Language program
The language program has been at the core of Japanese studies at undergraduate level since
its inception in 1991. In 1994 it was formally instituted as a program in the Department of
Asian Languages and Societies, and it has continued in the School of Languages, Cultures
and Linguistics since 1998. Healthy enrolments in Japanese language units have been maintained
despite subdued economic conditions in Japan since the mid-1990s, and UNEs renown in
distance education undoubtedly is a contributing factor. Training in Japanese, from beginners
to advanced levels, is available on campus and by distance education. As many as threequarters of the students are external and many of them have established careers, so their
reasons for studying Japanese are diverse and not solely vocational.
UNE students may study Japanese language as a single subject (within or outside the
Faculty of Arts), as a major in an undergraduate degree (Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of
Languages, Bachelor of Asian Studies), as the focal subject of a Diploma in Modern Languages
(the equivalent of an arts major in languages for candidates in other faculties), as part of a
Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma in Humanities, or as a part of a Master of Arts. In
addition, Japanese is available as a major within several combined, or double, degrees: the
Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Law, the Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Commerce and the
Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Teaching.
In 2003 enrolments in Japanese language units totalled 202 students, distributed as shown
in Table 1. Note that most upper-division units are taught externally only.
The foundation work of Dr Kumie Fujimori, a sociologist who taught Japanese at the
College of Advanced Education from 1985 to 1990 (before its amalgamation with the
university), then at UNE between 1991 and 1996, must be acknowledged. She obtained
crucial funding for materials and staffing. Since 1995 the UNE language program has been

largely the creation of Dr Satoko (Sato) Van Aacken, convenor of Japanese and a specialist
in pedagogy and language acquisition. Dr Van Aacken has been responsible for instituting a
Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) lab, aided by a number of substantial grants.
CALL lab work has become a central feature of the program, and has also been the focus of
Dr Van Aackens doctoral research on kanji-learning strategies. As an institution where the
majority of students are external, UNE aims to ensure that distance education does not
preclude interaction with the instructors. Speaking, listening, reading, writing and non-verbal
communication skills are addressed in an integrated fashion using a variety of media from
interactive web-based activities and CD-Roms to more traditional audiovisual, audio and
print-based teaching materials. Many of the CD-Roms, audiovisual materials and audiotapes
are original materials, developed at UNE to complement the teaching program.
Several Japanese language units include online chat session tutorials using WebCT
software. The university is updating to WebCT 4.1, which supports the UTF-8 form of Unicode
and allows the use of Japanese characters in web-based interactive work. The university is
also investigating online audio communication software. In addition to online tutorial interaction,
external students have the opportunity to work with their instructors in intensive residential
schools once each year or semester. Since 1999 native-speaking Japanese teaching assistants,
with certification in teaching Japanese as a foreign language, have assisted in each core
language unit, including CALL lab sessions and speaking tutorials.
Courses or units on Japanese culture, history and economics

At the undergraduate level, units which are taught in English about Japan, or which include
substantial Japan segments, are offered by the three Japan specialists as well as by those in
other schools and divisions who have secondary expertise. Within the School of Languages,
Cultures and Linguistics there has been a single unit on Japanese culture, Contemporary
Japanese Culture, taught by Therese Burton. This unit is taught at both the third-year
37
undergraduate level, with 23 enrolments in 2003, and the fourth-year undergraduate/coursework

MA level, with 4 enrolments. A first-year unit on Cultural Expression in Modern Asia includes
approximately one-third Japan content. A new unit at coursework MA and advanced
undergraduate level has been introduced. Culture Contact and Hybridity in the Arts of Asia
was conceived as a team-taught course, but when staff in Chinese and Indonesian studies
are unavailable, as in 2004, it will be based solely on Japan materials. In 2004 the course will
be taught by Associate Professor Hugh de Ferranti and will cover Meiji, Taish and early
Shwa era responses to Western art forms, and the development of hybrid practices in
literature, theatre, music and architecture. Strong interest in the course suggests that
postgraduate coursework on Japanese culture and history is an area in which further courses
should be offered.
In the School of Classics, History and Religion, Drs Choong Mun-keat (Wei-keat) and
Dennis Wright teach courses that include substantial Japan content. In Introduction to World
Religions and a new course on Buddhism: Teachings and Practices, Dr Choong examines
Japanese topics at length, in part because of his undergraduate training at the St Zen sectadministered university in Tokyo, Komazawa Daigaku. Dr Wrights Traditional China and
Japan is an introductory undergraduate course, but he also offers coursework MA-level
reading units in the history of these two societies. In the School of Economics, courses taught
by Professor Amarjit Kaur that include or centre on Japan are The International Economy;
Economy and Business in Modern Asia; The Economic Development of Modern Japan; and
Industrialisation and Development in Asia.
Honours and postgraduate programs

The honours program in Japanese language and culture is by research thesis in English, with
a number of shorter essays on assigned topics to be submitted during the full- or part-time
program, including one essay written in Japanese. In 2004 there will be one honours candidate,
who intends to continue to MA or PhD study at UNE, and one PhD student, supervised by
Hugh de Ferranti.
In addition to MA and PhD by research, an MA by coursework is available as the
principal framework for postgraduate study of Japanese subjects. As 48 credit points at
fourth-year level or above are required for the degree, coursework MA students have had to
take at least three of their eight courses in non-Japan units (typically in linguistics or another
Asian language) to graduate. One of the main tasks is to build up postgraduate-level Japanese
language and culture offerings so that coursework MA work can be solely, or at least 75 per
cent, in Japanese studies. For future development it is crucial to attract increased numbers of
research MA and PhD students. This was one of the principal objectives behind the appointment
at the start of 2003 of Associate Professor de Ferranti, who is an established researcher of
historical and modern Japanese music, and also has experience with the historical musictheatre traditions (n, kabuki and others). The viability and attractiveness of UNE as a
place for postgraduate research in Japanese studies will also be greatly helped by the fact
that the senior lecturer in Japanese, Sato Van Aacken, was awarded her PhD by the University
of Wollongong in 2003. The third staff member, associate lecturer Therese Burton, aims to
complete her degree no later than 2006.

Student exchange programs and teaching and research collaborations
Since the mid-1990s UNE has had agreements with universities in Japan for student exchange
programs. A total of 50 UNE students have participated in the programs, studying for either
a semester or a year at Hiroshima, Kagoshima, Nagoya Gakuin or Daito Bunka Universities.
In turn, 28 students from those institutions have been hosted at UNE. The UNE students
have participated in these exchange programs through numerous successful applications for
scholarships worth more than A$700,000 from the Association for International Education
Japan (AIEJ) and University Mobility in Asia and the Pacific (UMAP) programs.
The university has recently concluded an agreement with Kobe University, which will
operate a student exchange program from October 2004. It is hoped that academic exchange
for both teaching and research will also be possible in the future.
In the linguistics division within the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics, a
visiting researcher from the English Department of Konan University, Dr Akitoshi Fukushima,
will be in residence during 2004. Associate Professor Peter Brown in the Geography and
Planning Division of the School of Human and Environmental Studies (SHES) spent six
months in 2002 on secondment to a research professorship at Tohoku University Medical
School in Sendai, working in the field of palaeoanthropology. Professor Brown has also hosted
short visits by Japanese academics to UNE. Associate Professor Naoto Yamaguchi, from
the School of Regional Science at Niigata University for International and Information Studies,
is a visiting researcher at SHES for 12 months from mid-2003 to mid-2004. His main interest
is in the application of geographical information systems to regional planning. In addition,
Professor Brian Dollery of the School of Economics developed strong relations with economists
at Yokohama National University during nine months as visiting fellow in 2002. Dr Van Aacken
spent two months each at Daito Bunka University in 1999 and Kagoshima University in
2004.
Research
The three full-time staff within the Japanese language and culture section of the School of
Languages, Cultures and Linguistics are the only UNE employees whose research is primarily
on Japan. Hugh de Ferranti is a researcher of Japanese musical culture (mostly the biwa
narrative performance traditions). Since joining UNE in January 2003, he has expanded his
activities to include a project on problems of archiving music recordings in the Asia Pacific
region, in collaboration with two ethnomusicologists of UNE Music. He also recently organised,
with Dr Andrew Alter, a Japan Foundation-funded symposium on Asian performing arts
which attracted researchers and performers from many parts of Australia. Sato Van Aacken
has researched language acquisition, and recently completed her doctoral thesis for the
University of Wollongong on Analysis of Interactions and Strategies in Kanji Learning
Using Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). Since 2002 she has been working
with Professor Ohshima Maki of Kagoshima Daigaku on developing materials for a cultural
textbook that integrates learning about Japanese culture with language acquisition. The materials
are being tested at intermediate and advanced levels at UNE and several other universities in
Australia and New Zealand. For two years Therese Burton has been researching the song
culture of Japanese schooling in the postwar period and its effects on senses of self, community
39
and nation for adult Japanese. She has used a range of songs in her language classes and has
incorporated research results into material for the Contemporary Japanese Culture unit.
Beyond the Japanese language and culture section, research on Japan at UNE is confined
to the School of Economics, where Professor Brian Dollery has authored and co-authored
papers on economic issues in the origins of the Pacific War, and Professor Amarjit Kaur has
written about issues of female labour and Japanese investment in Southeast Asia.
Although the University of New England Asia Centre (UNEAC) has focused on Southeast
Asian cultures, two projects emanating from the centre have encompassed Japan: Female
Labour and Industrialisation in Asia 19992001 (funded by the London-based Wellcome
Trust) and an ongoing project on the Environmental and Social Impacts of Resource
Development in Asia. UNEAC is the academic base for a Japanese PhD student of historical
archaeology who is working on the Permian period in Asian. With the recent appointment of
Associate Professor de Ferranti as a Japan specialist, research on Japanese expressive culture
may gain more prominence among UNEAC projects.
Developments and planning for the future

In anticipation of growth in the numbers of coursework MA candidates, the expansion of
postgraduate Japanese studies courses is an important feature of current and future
development. In 2002 Japanese studies began a collaboration with the schools Masters in
Applied Linguistics (MAAL) program at the MA level, and it is expected that considerable
numbers of enrolees for new offerings will be MAAL students. New MA coursework options
are also being taught in other schools (such as Buddhism, to be taught from 2005, and a
postgraduate reading unit on Traditional China and Japan offered by the School of Classics,
History and Religion).
As Associate Professor de Ferranti is a specialist in Japanese music and performing
arts, further collaborations with both music and theatre studies sections are anticipated. The
symposium on Asian performing arts is one such example, with a highly successful conference
and series of public concerts. The conference bore further fruit in a major joint research
grant submission to the Japan Foundation Asia Centre. It is hoped that cross-listed and teaching
units can also be developed, in which academic or even practical study of Japanese performing
arts can be undertaken for credit.
The Japanese languages and cultures section is looking at ways of building larger
enrolments to gain a fourth staff member. Development of units such as Japanese for Business,
Marketing Japanese and summer intensives for the MBA program have been suggested.
Cooperative support from the university administration will be needed for such an expansion
to be carried out with three full-time teaching staff. External income and funding may also be
needed and possible avenues for support from industry, alumni and other sources are being
investigated.

A small Japanese program started up in the Faculty of Commerce and Economics in 1975.
By the 1990s it had grown from seven students to become the largest language studies
program at the University of New South Wales and one of the largest Japanese studies
programs in Australia. Partly owing to this rapid growth, and partly owing to the restructuring
momentum at UNSW, the Japanese studies program has been restructured several times
over the past decade. The program moved from the School of Marketing to the Asian Studies
Unit in 1990, which became the School of Asian Business and Language Studies in 1995.
The new school was absorbed into the School of International Business in 1998. In the
following year, the Japanese and Korean studies component of the school was transferred to
the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences to establish the Department of Japanese and Korean
Studies within the School of Modern Language Studies. With the move from commerce to
arts, it lost its strong business focus but maintained the pragmatic approach to language
teaching and Japanese studies. In 2003 the Japanese studies program had 247.8 equivalent
full-time students, the largest enrolment among the 12 language studies offered at UNSW.
The Department of Japanese and Korean Studies serves the overall student population
at UNSW in providing Japanese language and culture courses. Japanese at UNSW is
characterised by its flexible and interdisciplinary degree structures, which offer all types of
students opportunities to study languages and related studies. Undergraduate students may
incorporate Japanese studies into their programs in a variety of ways (Table 1).

Studying Japanese in double degrees has also been popular, particularly with law and commerce,
and even medicine.
The flexibility of the degree structures at UNSW is complemented by the flexibility of

Notes: Owing to differences in individual student abilities, this is a guide only; * students completing their major
at or above 5B receive advanced Japanese studies recognition.
Following the view that language learning is incomplete without sociocultural knowledge,
students are strongly recommended to study courses in Japanese studies as well as language.
Students majoring in Japanese studies are required to take at least one such course, Introduction
to Japanese Studies. Other courses include Talking Japanese Pop Culture; Cultural Studies
and Japan; Japan and Korea: Cultures in Conflict; Ancient to Modern Japan: Age of the
Sword, offered by the School of History; and Japanese Cinema, offered by the School of
Theatre, Film and Dance. Students are also encouraged to enhance their language and linguistic
skills and knowledge by taking such courses as Japanese Grammar; Japanese Literature and
Language; and Business Japanese. The major sequence also recognises students who are
more interested or adept in Japanese studies than the language. They complete a minimum
language component and devote their time to studying about Japan. Students who are not
majoring in Japanese studies also have opportunities to engage in study about Japan by taking
courses such as Introduction to 20C Japanese Architecture, offered by the Faculty of Built
Environment, and by taking Asia-related courses such as Australia and Asia Pacific Economies,
offered by the School of Economics.

The move from commerce to arts presented the Japanese studies program with an opportunity
to develop and strengthen its honours and postgraduate programs. The honours program has
become comprehensive with three pre-honours courses, including research methods and
guided reading. In recent years, honours students have studied such topics as yakuza, single
mothers, the long-term care insurance law, and languages and identities of trilingual speakers.
In 2000 MA by course work in Japanese studies and in Japanese applied linguistics, MA
by research and PhD in Japanese studies programs were introduced, in addition to the existing
Master of Commerce Japanese language program. The MA offers courses including Japan
in the World; Who are the Japanese?; Features of a Language: Japanese; Trends and Issues
in Teaching and Learning Japanese as a Foreign Language; Research Methods in Japanese
Studies; and Japanese Law and Society, offered by the Faculty of Law. Those in Japanese
applied linguistics may also take a course entitled Teaching Practicum. Postgraduate projects
and theses topics have ranged from vocabulary acquisition and language management
strategies, to the identity of Japanese youth and Japanese expressions of love and emotion.
Although the honours enrolment has been small, at only nine students in the past six
years, the postgraduate enrolment is steadily increasing with 15.23 equivalent full-time students
in 2003.
Innovations
The Bachelor of International Studies, the use of WebCT and the Japanese studies internship
are some of the teaching-related innovations. The introduction of a new four-year Bachelor
of International Studies in 2001 has attracted high-calibre students and increased the number
of students who study in Japanese universities on exchange. All students in the degree go on
exchange for a session or two, usually in their third year, and Japan is one of the popular
destinations. UNSW now has exchange agreements with nine Japanese universities including
Kyoto, Tohoku, Waseda and Keio. Those returning from overseas study are expected to
engage in higher-level learning in both language and studies.
Technology now plays a key role in the administration of courses with large enrolments,
such as the core Japanese sequence. UNSW supports WebCT and students can now
communicate with lecturer and peers, find out course-related information, submit assignments
and carry out exercises over the Internet outside of their class hours. WebCT provides a
flexible learning mode and an additional dimension to the computer-assisted language learning
(CALL) at UNSW. Students also engage in online projects. For example, intermediate students
correspond with Japanese university students, receive essay-writing advice and post their
essays on a website as a part of the curriculum.
The Japanese studies internship is a recent addition to the programs well-established
links to industry. Undergraduate students can undertake their internship with Japanese and
local organisations in Sydney. Most recently a team of three students engaged in an internship
with Qantas, creating and providing in-service training sessions to the Japan-bound flight and
ground crews.

Staff strengths
Strong undergraduate enrolment, developing postgraduate programs and a number of
innovations are the results of staff strengths at UNSW. Since the last report, staff members
have worked on completing postgraduate qualifications and developing research profiles,
while maintaining high-quality teaching. New staff members joined with established research
agenda. Full-time Japan specialists in the Department of Japanese and Korean Studies include
one associate professor, two senior lecturers, four lecturers and four associate lecturers.
Japan specialists can also be found in the Schools of History, Theatre, Film and Dance;
Marketing; Law and others. Examples of staff research interests range from theoretical
linguistics to applied and educational linguistics, from popular culture to gender studies, and
from corporate communication styles to nationalism. Staff members are working to find a
synergy in which research feeds into teaching and vice-versa.
Future challenges
The future offers another possible restructuring, however the Japanese studies program has
learned to make the most of any restructuring, and if one were to occur it should bring
positive outcomes in more collaborative teaching and research in interdisciplinary areas.
Challenges come from technological advances, changing student profiles, UNSWs new
emphasis on postgraduate teaching and the need to further promote research.
In recent years, the Japanese studies program has witnessed a major shift in its student
profile with the increase of local students with Asian backgrounds and international students
from Asia. International students now make up 33 per cent of the departments enrolment.
Student motivations also appear to be changing. They are much more interested in Japanese
popular culture, represented by manga, anime, J-pop songs and such, than getting a job in
Japan-related positions. The weekly anime screening on campus by the Anime Club attracts
hundreds of students. This shift demands a change in approach to teaching. Teaching materials
need to reflect these changes, and classroom management must take into an account
international students relatively passive approach to learning. On the other hand, the shift
also offers an opportunity to create truly international learning environments.
In the new emphasis on upper-level and postgraduate teaching, the bottom-heavy
Japanese language program is not viewed as desirable. Even though the upper-level enrolment
has been unprecedented (71 students in Japanese 4A in 2003) and the postgraduate enrolment
is growing in Japanese studies, the bulk of teaching is still concentrated in undergraduate
beginners language courses. A lot of effort is required to raise retention rates to upper levels,
recruit more students with previous exposure to Japanese, and build up postgraduate programs,
as well as incentives for postgraduate students, such as fellowships and to find scholarships.
Consolidation of the postgraduate programs is closely related to the fostering of a research
culture. Even with the increase in staff postgraduate qualifications and research output, there
is much more to achieve, not only in the publication of refereed papers and monographs but
also the securing of research grants.
Technology is expected to play a major role in both teaching and research. Advances in
CALL provide more realistic and varied language learning tools to teachers and students.
The current state of WebCT at UNSW should be improved so that teachers and students can
use Japanese language more freely. The foreseeable introduction of the content management

system will allow individual staff members easy access to hosting their own webpages for
teaching and research. Research presentations can be delivered via satellite as at the
Japanese studies conference held at UNSW in 2001, which linked UNSW and Waseda in
Tokyo. Electronic search, data collection and analysis are already widely used.
Conclusion
Although a lot has happened in Japanese studies at UNSW since the 1997 Directory of
Japanese Studies in Australia and New Zealand, the program has survived various changes
with no decrease in enrolments, despite the national trend. It is hoped that the strong sense of
collegiality and collaboration among staff members within and outside of UNSW will help the
program ride out any future waves.

Hugh Clarke
In 1917 a group of 80 students began their studies in the first tertiary-level Japanese course
in Australia under the University of Sydneys Board of Studies in Oriental Languages. The
lecturer in charge was James Murdoch, author of an authoritative history of Japan and a
former English teacher of the Meiji literary giant, Natsume Soseki. The first Japanese classes
at the University of Sydney were practical language courses for business people who were
eager to take advantage of the growing trade with Japan.
Structural and administrative changes

In the mid-1980s the Department of Oriental Studies was renamed the Department of East
Asian Studies, but continued to teach only Japanese and Chinese. In 1991 the department
was absorbed into a larger School of Asian Studies, established to give a central focus to the
universitys considerable resources in teaching and research in the languages, culture, history
and societies of Asia, and to enable the Faculty of Arts to respond to the countrys need to
produce many more graduates trained in Asian languages. Chinese and Japanese split into
separate departments within the School of Asian Studies, and Korean joined Japanese to
make up one of four sections of the school.
The Faculty of Arts underwent a more comprehensive structural change in 2000, when
19 departments were reorganised into four schools. The Department of Japanese and Korean
Studies became a subsection of the School of European, Asian and Middle-Eastern Languages
and Studies. In the 2004 academic year this school was renamed the School of Languages
and Cultures.
While these administrative changes have been significant, their impact on the teaching
of Japanese at the University of Sydney cannot be compared with the changes stemming
from the retirement in 2001 of Associate Professor Sakuko Matsui and Dr Hiroko Kobayashi.
Between them they had been teaching Japanese at the University of Sydney for well over 70
years. Fortunately both have continued their association with the department as honorary
associates.
With the retirement of Associate Professor Matsui and Dr Kobayashi, the department
lost much of its traditional focus on literature and moved more toward history, language and
sociology. While the diversification of academic offerings is welcome, the reduction in the
departments coverage of modern and classical Japanese literature is a serious problem,
particularly given the strength of the librarys collection in this area. In addition, the department
has seen a further reduction of two full-time members of staff and Dr Nerida Jarkey is on
full-time secondment to the Faculty of Arts for the period 200305. Japanese studies has
been fortunate in gaining Dr Olivier Ansart, a specialist in political philosophy and an authority
on the Edo-period Confucian scholar Ogyu Sorai. Elsewhere in the University of Sydney

there has been some loss of coverage of Japan through retirements and staff movements. On
the other hand, there is now greater coverage in the areas of architecture, film and art history,
and there has been an excellent response from students to the Japan-related offerings in the
Asian studies program.
With the economic downturn in Japan and the concomitant loss of some of the strength
Japanese enjoyed as a vocationally relevant subject there has been a drop in interest in
studying Japanese among the traditional intake of students of Anglo-Celtic background. This
loss has been largely made up through increased numbers of students from non-Englishspeaking backgrounds, predominantly from East and Southeast Asia, who have been attracted
to Japanese. For these students it seems the prime motivation is an interest in contemporary
Japanese popular culture rather than vocational relevance. Japanese studies at the University
of Sydney has therefore continued to maintain healthy student numbers, although French is
now beginning to challenge Japanese for the position of most popular foreign language.
Another trend that has gathered momentum since the 1997 Directory of Japanese
Studies in Australia and New Zealand is the expansion of exchange agreements between
the University of Sydney and universities in Japan. This has meant that larger numbers of
students have been able to credit courses taken in Japan to their University of Sydney degrees.
This positive trend is likely to continue as falling student numbers in Japan are forcing
universities to think more seriously about internationalisation. It is to be hoped that more
sources of funding can be found from private and government bodies in Japan and Australia
to encourage student exchanges. The greatest threat to the continued flourishing of Japanese
studies at the University of Sydney is the possible reduction of government and institutional
funding to teaching and research in the humanities. The dedication of teaching staff has
made it possible to continue to offer high-quality Japanese-language teaching, but class sizes
for many courses are already too large and the stress of greater workloads is beginning to
take its toll. A solution for sustainable growth and development in Japanese studies now
needs to be implemented as a matter of some urgency.
Degree programs
The university continues to offer a wide range of undergraduate courses at pass and honours
level as well as postgraduate training by coursework or research. Degree programs include
the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Arts (Asian Studies), MA in Japanese Studies, MA in
Applied Japanese for Business Purposes, MPhil. and PhD. In 2000 the Faculty of Arts
introduced a new four-year specialist degree, the BA (Languages), which includes a
mandatory period (minimum one semester, maximum one year) of in-country language study.
While the majority of students in the BA (Languages) study the major European languages,
a number of students in the degree program have studied in Japan each year. It is possible for
students in all the degree programs to transfer credit gained from study in Japan to their
University of Sydney degrees. The University of Sydney has formal exchange agreements
with 13 Japanese universities, and students are encouraged to include a period in Japan in
their Japanese majors. Unfortunately, the paucity of scholarships and the high cost of living in
Japan militate against the sending of more students to Japan.
The Department of Japanese and Korean Studies also contributes units of study taught
in English to the schools Asian studies program, the new major in international and comparative
47
literary studies, and cross-lists units of study for the Department of Linguistics program
leading toward an MA in Applied Linguistics.
The Japanese language-based courses of the Department of Japanese and Korean
Studies are intended to give students a well-rounded understanding of Japan and include
options in the broadly defined areas of history, language, linguistics, literature, society and
business, in addition to core language courses. The aim of the courses is for students to
achieve an understanding of Japan through the language and to acquire the intellectual skills
needed to communicate that understanding in a critical way. In the process of achieving
those goals, students completing an undergraduate degree in Japanese studies will acquire
basic communication skills in speaking, listening and writing Japanese; a solid foundation in
reading Japanese; familiarity with Japanese socio-cultural patterns; the ability to access relevant
materials for ongoing, independent learning; and skills identified by the University of Sydney
as desirable generic attributes of its graduates.
Students interested in learning about Japan through English may do so through Japanrelated courses in the subject of Asian studies. Some of these courses are taught by Japanese
studies specialists in departments and faculties outside the school.

David Walton
The University of Western Sydney (UWS) was formed in 1989. Until a major restructure in
2001, however, UWS was a federation of three members: Nepean, Macarthur and
Hawkesbury. Located in different parts of western Sydney, each had a separate history and
identity (Nepean and Macarthur were former colleges of advanced education and Hawkesbury
was an agricultural college). Despite being centrally funded, each member operated as an
independent entity. The restructure and subsequent merger reduced the duplication and, in
some instances, triplication of administration and resources across the university by moving
staff and standardising units and programs. As part of the merger, member name and identity
has been replaced by a location name (UWS Nepean, for example, became UWS Penrith
and UWS Parramatta).
Japanese language units were first offered at UWS Nepean by Yoshiko Howard in
1991 and at UWS Macarthur by Xiangdong Liu in 1994. Judith Snodgrass (Nepean) taught
the first non-language unit (Japanese History) in 1991. Until the 2001 merger, however, there
was no formal coordination of Japanese units and Japanese language programs between
Nepean and Macarthur. As a result, the language programs at the two member campuses
developed without consultation. The merger has strengthened Japanese studies at UWS. In
particular the standardisation of units, planning and coordination among staff across campuses
has led to a tighter and more cohesive program. There are four language staff in the School
of Languages and Linguistics and two non-language tenured Japan specialists in the School
of Humanities. One Japan specialist is also located in the Centre for Cultural Research.
There are also several Japan specialists in the research areas of fine arts, performance and
aquaculture. Despite the national decline in Japanese programs, and in student and staff
numbers, UWS has managed to maintain strong student numbers and has lost only one language
lecturer position since 1997. In 2003 a total of 617 students took units entirely devoted to
Japanese studies, 414 took language units and/or 203 took non-language units. A notable
trend has been the increased interest in area studies. Modern Japanese history, for example,
had 148 enrolled students when it was offered in semester one of 2003.
Teaching
UWS does not have a centre or department of Japanese studies. Instead Japan-related units
are a component in Asian and international studies and language studies programs. Japanese
studies is offered in several Bachelor of Arts degrees as electives or as part of a major or
sub-major. The programs include: BA (Asian and International Studies), BA (Languages),
BA (Liberal Studies) and BA (Communications). Double-degree programs have also increased
in popularity. These include: BA (Asian and International Studies)/Bachelor of Laws, BA
49
(Language)/Bachelor of Laws, BA (Asian and International Studies)/International Business

and BA (Asian and International Studies)/Bachelor of Teaching.
Language teaching
Japanese language is taught on three campuses (Penrith, Bankstown and Parramatta). Students
can take Japanese language units as a major in the BA (Languages) and BA (Asian and
International Studies) or in a range of double-degree programs the BA (Languages)/Bachelor
of Law, BA (Languages)/Bachelor of International Business are the most popular. Many
students also take Japanese as a sub-major or as an elective.
Language classes are offered from beginners level to advanced third-year units dealing
with contemporary culture and society, creative writing and Japanese for business.
There are three official entry points into the Japanese language program. The process
of selection is personalised and flexible. In essence this is to ensure students are at the
appropriate level of learning. At the beginners level, students who have studied the equivalent
of Japanese 101 elsewhere are permitted to start in semester two (Japanese 102).
Intermediate students with the equivalent of five years in high school can, after being
assessed, start at Japanese 202. Students with a higher level of language competency (normally
five years of high school Japanese plus a lengthy stay in Japan) can start at a more advanced
level subject to their competence.
The third entry point is for native speakers and non-native speakers with substantial
formal study and near-native competence to undertake interpreting and translations units. A
regular intake of study-abroad students from Japan at Bankstown campus in the MA in
Interpreting and Translation has added a new dimension to Japanese language studies. In
particular there has been considerable on-campus interaction between local students and
native Japanese speakers.
Non-language teaching
Current units offered are Contemporary Culture in Japan; Modern Japanese History; and
Warlords, Artists and Emperors: Power and Authority in Pre-modern Japan. These units are
very popular and regularly receive in excess of 100 enrolled students.
Two new units, International Politics of North Asia (50 per cent on Japanese foreign
policy) and Politics of Modern Japan, have been developed and will be taught for the first
time in 2004 and 2005 to supplement existing offerings. Buddhism in the Contemporary World,
to be taught for the first time in 2005, will have a substantial Japan component.
Several lectures on Japan are also taught in the compulsory BA unit, Foundations of
Asia. Moreover, one or more lectures on Japan are offered in several second- and third-level
history, politics, cultural studies and communication units.
Research
There is a diversity of research expertise on Japan across the campuses, including several
schools and the Centre for Cultural Research. Of particular note is the pivotal role Judith
Snodgrass has played in developing Japanese studies and establishing a research culture. She
has been an exemplary role model as the long-serving editor of the journal Japanese Studies,
founder of a Japanese studies reading group and a mentor for both staff and PhD students.

Centre for Cultural Research (CCR)
Formerly known as the Research Centre in Intercommunal Studies, the Centre for Cultural
Research was established in 1999 in collaboration with the Transforming Cultural Research
Group at the University of Technology, Sydney. Under the leadership of Professor Ien Ang
the CCR has developed research concentration in the area of cultural studies. Since 2001 the
centre has offered substantial financial and in-kind support for the editing of Japanese Studies.
Notably, all but one of the current Japanese studies PhD candidates are affiliated with the
centre. The CCR also has one Japan specialist, Sharon Chalmers, and Ien Ang is supervising
Zen Yipus PhD thesis on Making of Audiovisual Heritage in Japanese Postwar Culture.
There are regular seminars by overseas and interstate visitors and visiting researchers
attached to the centre. The links with academics in Japan have been productive and have
included collaborative projects and visits to Tokyo. In 1999 Associate Professor Yoshimi
Shunya (Tokyo University) spent three months as a visiting fellow at the CCR (March
May). During his stay the Japan Foundation sponsored a half-day seminar and reception on
Globalisation and Japanese Popular Culture at the Parramatta campus. The speakers included
Associate Professor Shunya, Associate Professor Shuhei Hosokawa (Tokyo Institute of
Technology) and Dr Tony Mitchell (University of Technology, Sydney).
The recent appointment of Adrian Snodgrass as an Adjunct Professor at the CCR will
significantly enhance the Japan profile at the centre. He is completing a major work (at least
two but probably three volumes) entitled Forms of Compassion: The Iconography of
Kannon in Japanese Buddhism and will also publish a book on the Taima Mandala and a
work on the iconography of Japanese Buddhist images next year. He also has a journal
article, The Japanese understanding of space: gaps in architectural thinking, forthcoming in
the Architectural Theory Review, Sydney University.
School of Humanities
The staff of the School of Humanities include Senior Lecturer Dr Judith Snodgrass (Japanese
history, cultural studies) and Lecturer Dr David Walton (AustraliaJapan political relations,
Japanese foreign policy).
Tutors (and PhD topics) include Christine de Matos (Imposing Peace and Prosperity:
Australia, Social Justice and Labour Reform in Occupied Japan), PhD to be awarded April
2004; David Kelly (Better Nutrition and the Fateful Burden of the Rice Diet: Japans End-ofPostwar Discourse of Dietary Reform); Craig Norris (The Cross-Cultural Appropriation of
Manga and Anime in Australia), PhD to be awarded in April 2004; and Cristine Rocha (Zen

Publications and research

A number of books, book chapters and journal articles have been published. Judith Snodgrasss
book Presenting Japanese Buddhism to the West: Orientalism, Occidentalism and the
Columbian Exposition (North Carolina University Press, 2002) and Sharon Chalmers book
Emerging Lesbian Voices from Japan (RoutledgeCurzon, London, 2002) have received
international recognition. As well, a number of other UWS publications have a significant
Japan component. For example, Alter/Asians: Exploring Asian/Australian Identities in
Art, Media and Popular Culture, edited by Ien Ang, Sharon Chalmers, Mandy Thomas and
Lisa Law (Pluto Press), explored ways in which Asia and Australia are entwined in culture,
art, television and the media.
The journal Japanese Studies, which has been edited by Judith Snodgrass since 1998,
continues to enhance its already substantial reputation as an important source for research
and critical thought on Japan and Japanese studies.
Among the staff involved in Japanese studies there is a strong research focus on
linguistics, cultural studies and history/politics. Yoshiko Howard, Satomi Kawaguchi and
Xiangdong Liu are currently completing their PhD theses. Judith Snodgrass and Ien Ang
have an Australian Research Council SPIRIT grant on Realms of the Buddhas: Museums,
Cultural Diversity and Audience Development, in partnership with the Art Gallery of New
South Wales and the Migrant Heritage Centre. As well Judith Snodgrass is planning a new
project on the life and work of Beatrice Lane Suzuki. David Walton is planning a co-edited
book (with Alan Rix and Chris Pokarier) on contemporary AustraliaJapan relations and is
editing the September 2004 special edition of Japanese Studies.
PhD candidates
UWS is attracting high-quality students. Japanese studies PhD students have won the following
awards: Koichi Iwabuchi for best PhD thesis in Asian studies, 2000; Craig Norris, Monbusho
scholarship, 2001; Cristine Rocha, Japan Foundation scholarship, 2001; and Christine de Matos,
the Crawford Award, AJRC, ANU, 2000. Koichi Iwabuchi has completed his degree and is
now an Assistant Professor at ICU, Tokyo. His thesis has been published as Recentering
Globalisation: Popular Culture and Japanese Transnationalism (London: Duke University
Press, 2002). A Japanese version has been published through Iwanami Shoten.
Exchange programs
The universitys Japanese partners are: Daito Bunka University, Kansai Gaidai University,
Kinki University, Kyorin University, Nishogakusha University, Shizuoka Sangyo University,
Tokyo Gakugei University and Tokyo Keizai University. The number of exchange students to
Japan since 2001 include five to Kansai Gaidai University, one to Nishogakusha University,
three to Daito Bunka University, two to Tokyo Gakugei University and two to Kyorin University.
There has been a decrease in the number of students going to Japan on exchange
programs since 2001. In part this reflects the cost of living in Japan and parental concern
about travel since 11 September 2001. The number of Japanese students on exchange programs
at UWS, however, has not diminished. In fact there has been an increase in Japanese partners
52

interested in sending students to UWS. One area that is expanding rapidly is short-term study
tours. Currently Kansai Gaidai, Nishogakusha, Daito Bunka and Kyorin are involved in study
tour programs, and another program is being negotiated with Tokyo Kezai.
In addition there has been increasing interest on the part of students from Japan in
studying at UWS in the areas of arts, communication, education, and translating and interpreting
studies. Japanese students represent the third-highest number of overseas students in the
areas of arts, education and social sciences at UWS.
Extra-curricular activities
Two highly successful extra-curricular clubs have emerged to assist in creating a learning
environment on campus. Both clubs are student run and offer opportunities for students to
enhance their understanding of Japan and Japanese culture. JAUWS (Japanese Animation,
University of Western Sydney) was established in 1996 to promote manga and anime (Japanese
comic books and animation) throughout western Sydney. The club provides a space where
members from diverse cultural backgrounds can discuss and share their enthusiasm for anime
and Japanese popular culture, as well as collaborate on manga- and anime-related websites,
promotional videos, fan-fiction, fan-art and cos-play (masquerades). It holds screenings at
the Kingswood and Werrington campuses of UWS, as well as social events including iceskating, manga/anime art competitions, video game nights, club dinners and outings around
Sydney. JAUWS currently has 62 paid members, and a further 200 members on its online
forum (http://www.animeiris.com/jauws/). JAUWS also has a broader profile throughout
NSW through its links with local anime clubs and retailers and is consulted by regional
distributors and media regarding anime in Australia. The undergraduate club provides a space
where members can discuss and share their enthusiasm for anime and Japanese popular
culture.
The Asia Pacific Club was formed in 1997. The undergraduate club runs a regular
seminar series at the Penrith campus, sends delegates to the annual Harvard Projects in Asia
and International Relations (HPAIR) conference (held in the Asian region) and has several
social functions a year. The HPAIR conference has been held in Bangkok, Singapore, Hong
Kong, Beijing, Manila and Sydney. The Asia Pacific Club has a strong interest in Japan and
Japanese-related issues. Over the past few years there has been a number of Japan specialists
presenting guest seminars including academics from the United Kingdom and Japan,
government officials and a former Australian ambassador to Japan.
Strengths and future directions

Language, cultural studies and history/politics will remain the main focus of Japanese studies
at UWS. There is solid support for Japanese studies by the Schools of Humanities and
Languages and Linguistics and the Centre for Cultural Research. Such support, however, is
within a wider context of teaching and research, and this has budgetary implications. It is
unlikely that there will be an expansion of Japanese studies in the short- to medium-term. For
a range of pragmatic reasons, therefore, the main objective over the next five years will be to
maintain current offerings and retain current staffing levels.

Noriko Dethlefs
The University of Wollongongs Japanese language program was established in 1991 within
the Department of Modern Languages in the Faculty of Arts. Since 2002 all language programs
have been within the School of English Literature, Philosophy and Languages.
The Japanese language program is an intensive face-to-face program that provides
more than 1,000 hours of class contact over three years for those enrolled in the beginners
stream. In the first year, the number of students admitted into the Japanese course was
restricted to 45 (about half were beginners and half had high school qualifications). The
concentration of resources on a small number of students resulted in a number of government
and private scholarship awards, both Japanese and Australian, as well as a University Medal
recipient.
Economic uncertainties and other issues such as those relating to cost and equity within
the university sector have placed pressure on the Japanese program to restructure its courses
since about 1996. Under increasing budgetary constraints it has been a struggle to uphold the
original aim of being highly intensive, and cuts to the number of teaching staff and hours of
class contact have been necessary. Changes in the undergraduate major have included the
deletion of non-core subjects like Japanese literature, and the level-three compulsory summer
semester. Japanese literature has been incorporated into the core language subject. Furthermore,
staffing of four full-time permanent academics plus casual teaching assistance in 1995 was
gradually reduced to 2.5 permanent academic staff positions with no casual teaching assistance
by 2002. Continuing adjustments have been made to the subjects on offer in response to other
changes that have occurred over the last eight years. Nevertheless, graduates have continued
to secure professional positions where they use Japanese, with significant numbers going to
Japan on the Japan Exchange and Teaching Program (JET). Moreover, one student won the
national Japanese speech competition in 2001.
Major in Japanese
The Japanese major is intended for students enrolling for BA and double BA degrees. The
undergraduate BA course is three years full time, or the part-time equivalent. The Universities
Admission Index (UAI) entry is expected to be 77.00 in 2004. There are four possible entry
points: beginners (no prior knowledge of the language), post-Higher School Certificate (HSC),
intermediate or advanced (a placement test to be successfully completed). The number of
credit points for the Japanese major is 82 for beginners, 74 for post-HSC, 62 for intermediate
and 54 for advanced entry.
The language subjects address the four main skills of reading, writing, speaking and
listening, as well as Japanese literature. Cultural and historical aspects are also part of the
54

course. Compulsory non-language subjects in the major cover culture, civilisation, linguistics,
economics and media.
Students who enter at the beginners level undertake a compulsory summer semester in
language in the first year at Wollongong campus. There is also a compulsory in-country
subject between semesters one and two in the intermediate Japanese year. Kawasaki City,
the sister city of Wollongong, arranges homestays for the students and numerous cultural
activities, as well as providing a lecture room in the Kawasaki International Centre. As part
of the in-country program, students also participate in enhancing international communication
and friendships by giving classes at local schools, visiting an aged-care institution, and taking
part in other community-based activities. This in-country subject began in 1992 as a secondyear summer semester for six weeks and then changed to five weeks. From 2004 the subject
will run for three weeks from the end of June as a compulsory component of the intermediate
year. Students will continue to be expected to cover the cost of travel and subsidise the cost
of accommodation and meals. Even the shortened homestay experience will provide students
with a rich social and cultural experience in Japan. One University of Wollongong lecturer
accompanies the students and coordinates and teaches the course in Japan.
In the advanced year, students participate in online chat sessions with university students
at Doshisha University, an exchange university. Sessions are conducted equally in English
and Japanese, and offer an opportunity for Wollongong and Doshisha students to exchange
ideas and opinions on various issues and to learn about the cultures of Japan and Australia. It
provides an innovative way of practicing language and provides another important dimension
to their learning experience.
Non-major subjects are available for beginners in the summer semester and in semester
one. The semester one options include a core language subject, either Beginners Japanese
for Teaching Purposes or Beginners Japanese for Business Purposes. Furthermore, there is
a non-language subject on offer, Japan and the Japanese, for students interested in Japanese
civilisation, culture and history. This subject does not include language studies.
Honours
Students who gain a high credit average or above are invited to enrol in the honours program.
The program is a one-year, full-time course consisting of studying research methods, research
and dissertation on an approved subject in Japanese studies.
Graduate Diploma of Arts (Japanese)

A special feature of the Japanese program is the opportunity for suitably qualified graduates
to further their Japanese studies at one of the exchange universities in Japan on a fee-neutral
basis. Scholarships and financial assistance from the university are available to encourage
students to gain this international experience. The final mark for this subject includes
assessments at the Japanese university and a University of Wollongong exit test on completion
of their academic year in Japan. Since 1993 approximately 40 students have spent an academic
year at one of the exchange universities in Japan.
Students are also encouraged to sit for Monbusho and other scholarships to study in
Japan. Since 1993 graduates have studied at the following non-exchange national universities
in Japan Tokyo, Hokkaido, Hiroshima and Kobe Gaigo.
55
Master of Arts by Research (Japanese)

It is possible to enrol in the Master of Arts by Research (Japanese) in certain subject areas
including linguistics, education, literature, sociology and economics.
Exchange universities in Japan

The University of Wollongong has exchange agreements with three national universities in
Japan Tsukuba, Otaru Commerce and Kobe and four private universities Sophia,
Hiroshima Shudo, Obirin and Doshisha.
The future of the Japanese language program

The Japanese major continues to take a holistic approach to language studies with relevant
cultural context and studies in literature, linguistics, culture, history, economics and media.
The major also includes an in-country subject at the intermediate level to immerse the students
in both the language and culture. A further one-year in-country subject is offered at a
postgraduate level to study at one of the exchange universities.
The major also incorporates practical content to enhance career opportunities using the
Japanese language in business, education and the public service. The curriculum allows students
to interact with Japanese in Japan in many situations as foreign students, teachers and
business people. The four main skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening all take reallife situations into account to assist students to function within Japanese society. There are
also opportunities to further Japanese studies at higher levels honours, graduate diploma,
masters and PhD.
Although economic pressures have forced numerous changes to the structure and the
curriculum of Japanese studies at the University of Wollongong, teaching staff have continued
to search for ways to maintain the intensive nature of the program within the constraints
placed on the program. Moreover, much effort has been made to maintain a close and friendly
relationship with Kawasaki City, the sister city to Wollongong, so that there is much mutual
gain from the annual in-country subject in Kawasaki.
The Japanese program continues to be committed to developing the teaching of both
language and culture and to maintaining research in areas related to Japan. There is also a
continuing development of vocational subjects such as Japanese for Educational Purposes
and Japanese for Business Purposes as well as the Japanese minor and diploma. The programs
future challenge and long-term commitment remains to increase the retention rate of the
Japanese major as well as to recruit students into postgraduate studies as teaching staff
develop their research related to Japan.

Griffith University
John Jorgensen
Japanese language teaching and Japan studies at Griffith University is divided between two
campuses: Nathan, in Brisbanes south, and the Gold Coast. Japanese language and studies
commenced in Nathan in 1975 and at the Gold Coast campus in 1990. When the university
was restructured in 1997, Japanese language teaching on both campuses and Japanese studies
on the Gold Coast were incorporated into the School of Languages and Linguistics, while the
Japanese studies courses held at the Nathan Campus became part of the School of International
Business and Asian Studies. Although the Bachelor of Arts in Asian and International Studies
has a wide Asian, business and international relations focus, students are still able to choose
a Japanese language major and several Japanese studies courses, including Internationalisation
of Japanese Society, and Japan and the International Economy. The Bachelor of Arts in
Japanese was established to meet the needs of the tourism, hospitality, business and education
industries on the Gold Coast and in the broader region. It provides a more intensive Japanese
language content (at least 12 courses in Japanese language) and Japan studies focus (5 or 6
courses covering history, social structures, modern culture, humanistic geography and social
issues).
Students may also take combined, or double, degrees such as a Bachelor of Business/
Bachelor of Arts in Japanese or Bachelor of Hotel Management/Bachelor of Arts in Japanese.
These are four-year, full-time degrees of 34 courses, compared to 24 courses for the single
degree.
The Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Arts in Japanese, hosted by the Faculty of
Commerce and Management, combines 12 courses in Japanese language (Business Japanese
and Japanese Through Media are compulsory) and 4 courses in Japanese studies (Introduction
to Japanese Society and Culture, Pre-1945 Japan, Post-1945 Japan, AustraliaJapan Relations)
to provide cultural knowledge, with business majors such as accounting, business psychology,
club management, commercial computing, employment relations, finance, industrial relations
or marketing and retailing.
The Bachelor of Hotel Management/Bachelor of Arts in Japanese, hosted by the School
of Tourism and Hotel Management, combines the same 12 Japanese language courses and 4
Japanese studies courses with hospitality management, including theory and 600 hours of
practical training in the industry.
The Bachelor of Arts in Languages and Applied Linguistics/Bachelor of Education
(Secondary) is offered on the adjacent Nathan (languages and linguistics) and Mt Gravatt
(education) campuses. Graduates are eligible for teacher registration in Queensland, and
Japanese may be taken as the compulsory language component. The combined degree provides
knowledge of the language, of linguistics and language teaching methodology, the theory of
57
education, and the cultural context of the language. Graduates can be LOTE (Languages
Other Than English) teachers in high schools, but must have a second teaching area.
The Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of ArtsLaw and Asian Studies degree, hosted by the
School of Law at Nathan, allows the study of law with Japanese or another Asian language,
and includes possible internships with law firms in Tokyo. Japanese language may be taken
for one to three years. Several courses may be taken from the Japanese studies courses
offered in the Bachelor of Arts in Asian and International Studies.
The Bachelor of Arts in Asian and International Studies/Bachelor of Communication
permits students to take Japanese language courses and study the communications industries
of the Asia Pacific region in areas such as media studies, journalism and screen production.
A Bachelor of Nursing Post Registration (one year part-time) course is taught for
Japanese nurses who have completed a three-year Japanese College Nursing Diploma. The
course is delivered in Japan in Japanese, and arranged by the Nissoken Group. One semester
in this program is also offered on the Gold Coast campus. A number of Japanese language
certificate courses are offered to the public.
Several other combined degrees the Bachelor of Law/Bachelor of Arts in Japanese
and the Bachelor of International Finance/Bachelor of Arts in Japanese are being phased
out. Although they had produced excellent graduates, numbers were low and the workload
for students was extremely demanding.
In general, with the exception of the BA Japanese degree which has three full-time
language teachers and one full-time teacher of Japanese culture, society and history the
area studies dimension of Japanese studies has been diluted by incorporation into broader
groupings, such as business and international relations, or by being considered as part of the
broader Asia or Asia Pacific region. While this provides students with more discipline
approaches to Japan, it lessens the content devoted to Japan itself, and allows fewer language
subjects in total. This has mirrored a trend by students to look for more vocationally oriented,
relevant degrees. However, by its very nature, area study should be interdisciplinary and
may respond to the increasing demands for cross-cultural understanding and sensitivity in an
increasingly globalised world. It can assist in the creation of global citizens, not just those
looking to exploit the comparative advantages of cheap labour and so on.
Demand for Japanese language courses has also met with some obstacles, and not
simply from the English-only views of some in the community, including in universities and
schools, which impact on student perceptions. The rapid growth in students studying Japanese
in schools was not met by a commensurate increase in qualified teachers, leading to greatly
increased studentstaff ratios. By 2002 approximately one-third of primary school principals
wished to opt out of LOTE because they were concerned at the shortage of skilled teachers
and the need to put resources into other areas of an overloaded curriculum. A review of the
situation led to the winding up of the National Asian Languages and Studies program in 2002.
The Queensland Minister for Education, Anna Bligh, said in Parliament on 22 April 2002 that
the state had received A$5.2 million a year from the NALSAS program, and that the cuts
meant many schools would lose preschoolLOTE 5 classes. Reports of this, combined with
continuing negative news about the Japanese economy, may discourage some students from
pursuing Japanese studies at tertiary level, and lead them to overlook the fact that Queensland

continue to enrol in tertiary Japanese courses. This has created the need for advanced-level
language courses for those capable of skipping introductory and sometimes intermediate
Japanese courses.
Research on Japan at Griffith covers areas such as gender and unions, gender and the
law, Japanese Buddhism, Uchimura Kanzo, and Japanese linguistics. Other research is more
applied, relating to the teaching of Japanese language. Despite high teaching loads and falling
staff numbers, the amount of research has been maintained, or possibly increased, in the last
few years.

Substantial shifts have occurred in teaching about Japan at the University of Queensland
since the 1997 Directory of Japanese Studies in Australia and New Zealand, following
the retirement of several staff members, decisions in some areas to change direction and
organisational changes in the university itself. The School of Law has dropped its courses on
Japanese law; Japan now forms a one-week component in a course on Asian law. The
retirement of the staff member in charge of Japanese history courses in the former History
Department means that those courses have not been offered for some time, although there
are plans to offer them again in 2005. The School of Political Science and International
Studies no longer offers a course on the government of Japan, as it no longer teaches
comparative government; Japan instead forms a component of courses on East Asia. The
major locus of teaching and research about Japan within the university is now the Japanese
program within the School of Languages and Comparative Cultural Studies. In other words,
there has been a retreat from focused studies of Japan in discipline-based schools.
With the demise of the Department of Asian Languages and Studies in late 2003, the
Japanese program became one of 10 programs within the School of Languages and
Comparative Cultural Studies. This organisational restructuring, common to many Australian
universities in the last few years, has not affected the strength and breadth of the program.
Equivalent full-time student numbers have fallen since 1997, but the Japanese program remains
by far the largest within the school in terms of student and staff numbers and its contribution
to internationalisation through the large numbers of international students undertaking its
courses. Staff numbers remain constant; replacements for departing staff members have
either been made or are in the process of being made. Enrolments in double majors from
students doing a BA or a double degree (e.g., Engineering/Arts, Arts/Law) remain strong.
Japanese also remains a favoured elective for students whose single degree (e.g., BCom.)
permits it. The student body includes a large number of international students from Asian
countries, in particular Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore.
Teaching
Twenty-two undergraduate courses in Japanese language are currently available, structured
into three streams:
Stream A is for beginners, who proceed to third-year level in this stream. Occasionally
students are permitted to change to another stream on the basis of their language and
learning skills.
Stream B is for post-secondary students. They remain in stream B classes for two
years. Their third year consists of both stream B and C courses.
60
Essays AUS
Stream C is intended for post-secondary students who have formally studied in Japan
for more than six months. In the second year this stream is partly combined with
stream B; however, it is separately assessed and students are enrolled in an independent
course code.
Classes do not follow a lecture and tutorial format but are structured as language groups
involving pair and group work. Advanced undergraduate language courses follow a smallgroup teaching approach in which groups of students select their own topic to research under
an overall theme introduced in the course. This approach, in addition to promoting multiple
skills in students, also caters for different levels of proficiency, experience and interests
within the groups. Tapes, videos and online materials are used; innovative teaching resources
have been produced by staff with the aid of a variety of grants. Various uses of satellite
television and the Internet are being incorporated into courses, a trend that will increase in the
future.
Language courses are supplemented in the double major by courses about Japan taught
in English, such as Japan and the World; Issues of Contemporary Japan; Modern Japanese
Literature and Society; and Japanese Popular Culture. Other pan-Asia courses contain Japanrelated components: Issues in Contemporary Asia; Introduction to Asian Languages and
Linguistics; Environment and Asia; Women in Asian Literature; and From Buddha to Bruce
Lee: Asian Visual Cultures. The University of Queensland remains one of the few places in
Australia to offer courses on Japanese literature, in both English and Japanese. The advancedlevel Japanese Literary Texts uses literature as a tool to improve students proficiency in the
four main language skills as well as to develop awareness in sociocultural-linguistic issues;
this course has slowly developed as a bridge between undergraduate and postgraduate studies
and between language and literature. Japanese literature is also discussed in other courses,
such as Japanese society, history and popular culture, as well as in courses on other Asian
literatures and womens studies.
The exchange program continues vigorously, with 21 exchanges with Japanese
universities as well as the annual Komstudy trip in December where students spend six
weeks undertaking a program at Komazawa University (and more recently other institutions
as well) and receive credit for the equivalent of one course at the University of Queensland
upon successful completion. This program is tremendously popular and functions for many
students as their introduction to Japan. In addition, active on-campus social programs with
visiting Japanese students increase opportunities for informal learning.
Students continue to win competitive scholarships such as Monbusho and Association
for International Education Japan (AIEJ) scholarships and many participate in the Japan
Exchange and Teaching (JET) program upon graduation. A graduate of the program, Dr
Dhugal Lindsay, was recently chosen as the University of Queenslands Young Alumnus of
the Year for 2003. Dr Lindsay is a marine scientist based in Yokosuka, Japan, and received
his PhD in aquatic biology from the University of Tokyo (1998). He is a research scientist
with the Japan Marine Science and Technology Centre (JAMSTEC), Japans premier
oceanographic research station and has become a leader in developing new methodologies
associated with state-of-the-art manned submersibles and remotely operated vehicles. Dr
Lindsay is also one of Japans most accomplished and celebrated young haiku poets, and is
the first non-Japanese writer to win the annual Nakaniida Grand Haiku Prize.

The number of students undertaking honours courses remains low (despite a bulge in
1999) but students are of consistently high quality. Recent honours students have worked on
diverse topics, among them the Mingei movement, the self-defence forces, causative
constructions in Japanese, and Japanese media constructions of the Tiananmen Square
massacre. Honours courses in Chinese, Japanese and Indonesian were standardised several
years ago to provide a degree of commonality that would allow small numbers of honours
students to form bonds with their counterparts in other honours programs, most notably in the
combined research methods course in which students from the Chinese, Japanese and
Indonesian programs come together for joint training in research methodology, with one week
of the semester devoted to area-specific issues. This course has proved very successful in
motivating honours students in these programs to form a small research community that
encourages sharing of ideas and mutual support.
At the postgraduate level, the Master of Arts in Japanese Interpreting and Translation
(MAJIT) continues to attract students from both Japan and Australia, and was ranked second
in the world as an interpreting and translation program by the International Association of
Conference Interpreters (AIIC) in 2002. All full-time staff are accredited by the AICC or
the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI), and parttime instructors are all NAATI-accredited professional translators and/or interpreters with a
minimum accreditation level of NAATI Interpreter/Translator (level 3). The two-year program
covers theoretical and practical training in advanced translation and conference interpreting.
Five broad areas are studied: interpreting studies, translation studies, professional studies,
contextual studies and practicals.
Research
High-quality, internationally recognised staff research continues to be a hallmark of the program.
Staff regularly present research findings at national and international conferences and publish
monographs, book chapters and articles with respected publishers and journals. Almost all
staff now have PhDs, with another two expected to complete PhDs in the coming two years.
Research areas include applied linguistics, linguistics and sociolinguistics; Japanese diaspora
studies; literature; cultural studies; visual arts; science and nation; cyberspace and technology;
cultural tourism; Asian perspectives on the environment; and other areas. Collaborative and
interdisciplinary research has increased since the time of the last directory, with several
multi-authored books appearing as a result. Recent and forthcoming collaborative publications
include Navigating Boundaries: The Asian Diaspora in Torres Strait (edited by Yuriko
Nagata, Guy Ramsay and Anna Shnukal, Pandanus Press, forthcoming); Japanese
Cybercultures (edited by Nanette Gottlieb and Mark McLelland, Routledge, 2003); Language
Planning and Language Policy: East Asian Perspectives (edited by Nanette Gottlieb and
Ping Chen, Curzon, 2001); Asian Masculinities: The Meaning and Practice of Manhood
in China and Japan (edited by Morris Low and Kam Louie, RoutledgeCurzon, 2003).
The Asian identities research concentration established in 1999 with the support of the
Faculty of Arts has also resulted in collaborative publications. Its objective has been to develop
research on Asian identities within the university by providing opportunities for staff and
postgraduate students to undertake collaborative research projects and participate in seminars,
workshops and conferences. Current research projects are focused on three main areas:
62
Essays AUS
regional identity formation, Asian-Australian identities and the changing boundaries of gender
identity. Staff members from the Japan program involved in Asian identities are Dr Morris
Low, Associate Professor Nanette Gottlieb, Dr Yuriko Nagata and Dr Tomoko Aoyama. Dr
Mark McLelland of the Arts Facultys Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies (CCCS) has
also been heavily involved, as have several postgraduate students. Dr McLelland, who currently
holds an ARC Postdoctoral Fellowship, has published prolifically on the intersections between
gender, sexuality and new technologies in Japan since his appointment three years ago.
Program staff have recently edited two special journal issues: Electronic identities in
Eastern Asia, in the Asian Studies Review, edited by Dr Morris Low, Vol.26, No.2 (June
2002), and Literary Studies, in Japanese Studies, edited by Dr Tomoko Aoyama, Vol.23,
No.3 (December 2003). Two staff members (Morris Low and Tomoko Aoyama) have held
visiting fellowships at the University of Queenslands Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies.
Nanette Gottlieb was a Senior Associate Member at St Antonys College, Oxford during her
study leave at the Nissan Institute in 2003. Other periods of overseas research on study leave
have included John Hopkins University (Morris Low) and the Japan Foundation Language
Centre at Urawa (Yuriko Nagata).
The number of postgraduate students in the Japan area has increased since 1997.
Currently there are 14 students undertaking higher degrees and three recent completions.
Research areas for postgraduate students include applied linguistics, reading and kanji-learning
strategies, politeness implicatures in Japanese, professional womens perceptions of the
lifecycle, literature, linguistics, translation studies, the Japanese language in Taiwan and the
use of English at international conferences in Japan. Two postgraduate students are also
working on Japan-related topics in the School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics.
Current issues and trends

Enrolments in the post-secondary stream have declined by around 10 per cent over the last
five years, reflecting declining public interest in LOTE (Languages Other Than English) as a
function of the Japanese economic recession. In an environment of declining federal funding
for Asian studies, it is particularly important that liaison with the schools sector, particularly
secondary schools, increases in order to address this trend.
The past five years have seen an increased focus on content in the B/C-stream (postbeginner) courses, with staff committed to offering good, relevant topics that increase
meaningful engagement with the study of Japan. Topics covered so far include gender, identity,
youth and society, and environment along with other more conventional topics such as education,
employment and family.
The numbers of students from a non-English-speaking background (both international
and domestic) were already strong at the time of the 1997 directory, and have since increased
to the point where they outnumber native speakers of English in many courses. This has led
to changes in pedagogy and also to a body of research by doctoral students and staff on
related issues. The number of heritage speakers undertaking upper-level courses, although
small, has also increased over the last couple of years; these students may show oral proficiency
but need remedial work on kanji.
In the Japanese studies courses, students have shown growing interest in taking courses
that include modules on Japan but also cover other countries. This partly reflects the Asian
63
backgrounds of some of the students, a desire perhaps for multi-skilling and the desire to
know about more than one country, and also growing interest in international relations.
Enrolments have shot up for the Asian Visual Cultures course, whereas they have been
smaller for other courses on Japan alone, except for increased interest in Japan and the
World (which has an international relations focus).
One initiative begun in 2003 is the Audit Program for Japanese Students, whereby
students (and staff) from Japanese universities not wishing to undertake longer exchanges
visit the University of Queensland for a month or so, sit in on nominated classes and experience
what it is like to study at an Australian university. Some of the courses they audit are Englishlanguage courses about Japan and Asia, which offer perspectives that may differ from those
they encounter in Japan, thereby broadening their outlook and contributing to the
internationalisation of Japanese students. The students are also free to participate in other
school activities such as the weekly informal Japanese conversation classes, the weekly
MAJIT interpreting forum, activities organised by the student club and the regular research
seminars given by academic staff. The program was promoted in Japan in late 2002, and
information has been placed on the school website (http://www.arts.uq.edu.au/slccs/
japaudeng.html) and has been distributed to other universities and the Queensland Government
State Office in Tokyo. A small number of students have taken advantage of this program.
Dr Kumi Kato has begun to develop a strand of teaching about environmental issues, in
particular Asian perspectives on the environment. Dr Kato, who also holds a Masters in
Environmental Science, teaches Asia-related segments in environmental courses elsewhere
on campus and was convenor of the Asia Pacific Forum on Environment and Culture, coorganised with the Environment, Culture and Community conference in July 2002 and facilitated
by a grant from the Japan Foundations Asia Centre. This is likely to be an area of growing
interest.
The future
Teaching and research in Japanese studies will remain a high priority for the School of
Languages and Comparative Cultural Studies. The focus will remain on imparting a critical
knowledge of Japan through language courses carefully structured to increase proficiency
through a variety of activities (including the use of technology), supplemented by a suite of
courses taught in English. Collaborative links with colleagues in other units and schools will
continue to be fostered. Despite the retreat from discipline-based teaching and the resignation
of specialists in other areas of the university, research and scholarship on Japan remain
strong and have grown increasingly sophisticated. The repositioning of Japanese studies in
response to changes in the external environment, most notably in Japans position in the world
and Australias relations with Japan, means that a bright future is assured for the program.

Barbara J. Bourke
The Japanese language program at QUT formally began in 1991 when the School of Humanities
was established in the Faculty of Arts. The school has since been renamed the School of
Humanities and Human Services and is based on the Carseldine campus.
Japanese is one of five languages taught at QUT; the other four are French, German,
Indonesian and Mandarin. Japanese is the largest program in terms of student numbers,
followed by French, German and Indonesian. Mandarin is taught only in intensive mode in the
summer program. In 1997 language staff moved to the more central Gardens Point campus
where all language teaching now takes place. This move from the outer suburbs to the city
campus has been a positive one, indicative of the importance of languages to students from
many different faculties.
Japanese language program structure

QUT offers eight sequential units in Japanese language. Japanese 1 is designed for students
with little or no experience in the language and Japanese 7 (Media Japanese) and 8 (Business
Japanese) are advanced-level units. Students who have studied Japanese for five years in
high school usually begin at Japanese 3, while those who have studied at high school and then
had a year in Japan usually begin at level 5. Limited resources preclude the offering of
separate streams for school leavers and beginners, so students who have completed Japanese
1 and 2 at QUT merge with school leavers in Japanese 3. The ratio of beginners to school
leavers at this level varies from about 50:50 to 60:40. Students who enter the program at level
5 and want to complete a full major (six units) can either go to Japan on exchange or enrol
cross-institutionally at other universities in Brisbane where a greater range of advanced-level
units is on offer.
Since 1999, in response to university requests to offer more flexible pathways and cater
to the needs of students entering mid-year, Japanese 1 has been offered in semesters one and
two, while Japanese 2 has been offered in semester two and in the summer semester in
intensive mode (two hours a day for five weeks). This initiative has counteracted, to a certain
extent, the decline in numbers between semesters one and two.
Course offerings
The three main courses where students can complete a major in Japanese are arts, business
and education.
The Bachelor of Arts (International and Global Studies) is designed for students seeking
employment in job markets that require a working knowledge of issues to do with
65
internationalisation and cultural diversity. Students can concentrate on Asian, European or

Pacific studies and include language study in their degree. Units relating directly to Japan
include Windows on Japan, Asian Cultures and Societies, and Australia and the South Pacific.
The Bachelor of Business (International Business) major equips graduates for careers
in international trade, finance and marketing. If students choose a Japanese language
specialisation, they have the choice of studying six consecutive language units or four language
units plus two content units (Cross-Cultural Communication and Negotiation and one other
international business elective). They must also complete two area study units: Asian Business
Development and Contemporary Business in Asia.
In the Bachelor of Education (primary/secondary), students who choose Japanese as
one of their teaching areas must complete at least six units of language as well as curriculum
studies and other education subjects. Students with no previous experience in the language
can choose Japanese, but are advised that in order to meet the proficiency requirements for
employment in Education Queensland, they may need to complete additional units of Japanese
or spend time in Japan.
Origins of students studying Japanese

Although the number of degrees that allow students to complete a full major in a language is
still limited, students studying Japanese at QUT come from a wide variety of programs. In
2003 over 50 per cent were business students or students studying a double degree combining
business with another discipline such as law, health science, information technology or applied
science. Education students (early childhood, primary or secondary) were next with 12 per
cent, followed by arts students or students doing a double degree in arts/law (9 per cent) and
information technology students (8 per cent).
A large percentage of students studying Japanese are overseas students, especially in
the introductory subjects where the figure can be as high as 75 per cent. Many of these
students come from Asian countries, such as mainland China, Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan
and Singapore, but recently there have also been students from Europe and Scandinavia
through the study-abroad program.
Student numbers
After the inception of the Japanese language program in 1991, student numbers increased
rapidly for the first four years, reaching a peak of over 350 in 1995 (Figure 1). Numbers then
levelled out over the next four years before decreasing slightly in 20002001 and even further
in 2002. There is no obvious reason for these patterns but they more or less follow national
trends. Numbers have rebounded slightly in 20032004.
First semester numbers have usually been quite a bit higher than in the second semester.
This can be explained mostly by the drop in numbers between Japanese 1 and Japanese 2
owing to the perceived difficulty of the subject or the fact that students choose to do only one
unit of Japanese as an elective. However, the positive effect of re-running Japanese 1 in
semester two is illustrated in the graph with numbers in the second semester of 2003 exceeding
those of semester one for the first time.
66
Essays AUS
Staff
There are three full-time staff teaching Japanese language: the coordinator, at lecturer level,
and two associate lecturers. The coordinator has responsibility for timetables, budgets,
interviewing, appointing and supervising part-time staff, overseeing the development of the
curriculum and resources, coordinating exchange programs, liaising with other parts of the
school and university, as well as various roles in the community. The program depends to a
large extent for its smooth running on the support of a loyal team of between six and eight
part-time tutors.
Multimedia resources
Since 1992 staff in the Japanese language program have been actively involved in the
development of multimedia resources for teaching Japanese. These include interactive CDs
and web-based language tools at all levels, from beginners to advanced. Students have access
to a dedicated language computer room, containing 26 computers, for one hour a week during
class time and for self-access at any other time that it is not in use by other classes. Keeping
multimedia resources up to date takes staff time and this is sometimes done at the expense of
other research, which may not be in the best interests of staff in terms of future promotion.
Exchange programs
QUT has benefited from four rounds of funding from the University Mobility in Asia and the
Pacific (UMAP) program, which has aided the establishment and development of exchange
arrangements with Japan. QUT currently has exchange agreements with seven universities:
International Christian University, Tokyo; Kansai Gaidai University, Hirakata; Sapporo
University; Meijo University, Nagoya; Sonoda Womens University, Amagasaki; Miyagi
Gakuin Womens University, Sendai; and Kobe International University. Students can choose
to study at these institutions for either a semester or a year.
The exchange programs are mostly administered by the international relations section
at QUT but staff in the Japanese language program and the Faculty of Business play a key
role in promoting the programs, advising students on which program is most suitable and
serving on selection panels.
QUT also has a short program where six students go to Sonoda for five weeks of
Japanese language study and cultural outings during the Australian summer, and the School
of International Business hosts students from Meijo University each year in a three-month
program incorporating English language and business seminars.
Most students participating in the exchange program receive financial support, for example
AIEJ (Association for International Education Japan) scholarships, UMAP funding and
university or faculty-based scholarships. Many QUT graduates have participated in the Japan
Exchange and Teaching (JET) program.
Conclusion
The Japanese language program at QUT is relatively new compared with others in Australia
and New Zealand. Full-time staff have had to develop courses and exchange programs from
67
scratch a time-consuming task, especially given the commitment to multimedia resources.

In addition, the ratio of full-time staff to part-time staff and of full-time staff to students are
both relatively low, meaning the demands on full-time staff are considerable.
In summary, the strengths of the Japanese language program at QUT include the fact
that most students combine their language study with the professional course of their choice,
and that courses are practically orientated, concentrating on developing communication skills
using up-to-date multimedia and Internet resources. The fact that the number of language
units on offer is limited is a problem for students who enter the program at intermediate or
advanced levels. It is hoped that a greater range of advanced-level units, including honours
and postgraduate programs, can be developed in the future so that students do not need to go
to other institutions to complete their study.

Purnendra C. Jain
At the University of Adelaide, the Centre for Asian Studies is the principal department of
teaching and research offering Japanese language programs and Japan-related subjects.
Indeed, the centre is the only department in South Australia that offers a full sequence of
degree programs in Japanese language and Japanese studies to PhD level. The centre is
now part of the new School of Social Sciences within the Faculty of Humanities and Social
Sciences. University restructuring has not affected the composition of staff or the teaching
programs except that now the centre does not have a head its academic programs are
overseen by a discipline leader and the school head serves as the line manager.
The centre was established in 1975 to teach Japanese and Chinese languages and
subjects concerning Japan and China. Subsequently, it offered Korean and Vietnamese
languages, but insufficient enrolments forced withdrawal of these programs. In 1992 the
centre began teaching Chinese and Japanese language courses at Flinders University, in
exchange for teaching by Flinders of Indonesian language at introductory and intermediary
levels at the University of Adelaide.
Staff
The centres Japan teaching staff includes one professor, two senior lecturers, three lecturers
and three part-time continuing associate lecturers, plus a number of casual tutors. They
undertake a wide variety of research projects, some with students. Many are working on the
publication of books and research articles; some are involved in organising conferences and
symposiums, providing commentary on Asian affairs in the print and electronic media, and
are active both nationally and internationally in promoting understanding of Japan and Asia
through professional and community service. The Elder School of Music has one associate
professor who is a Japan specialist and the Adelaide Graduate School of Business has a
professor whose specialisation is Japanese economics.
Enrolments
Enrolments in Japanese language programs have been stable over the last five years. The
number of equivalent full-time students hovers between 85 and 90, while in Japanese studies
the range is between 60 and 70. Although the number of full-time staff has been reduced
from ten to eight in the last five years, overall there has been a slight increase in language
and non-language programs during this period. The centres language and study subjects
attract students not only from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences but also from
other faculties and professional disciplines including engineering and medicine. Ever more
students from the combined degree programs take the centres language and other Asiarelated subjects. The introduction of new degrees in international studies and media studies
69
has also helped to increase the centres enrolments. Some overseas students, especially
from Asia, who are enrolled in professional degrees such as commerce and accounting,
choose to study another Asian language, sometimes Japanese.
Undergraduate courses
Japanese studies courses include a first-year introductory subject on society and culture, as
well as several level-two and level-three subjects including culture and identity, society and
development, and politics and foreign policy. Most courses are cross-listed for a range of
degrees such as international studies and social sciences. Japan-related subjects are included
in many of the facultys other courses such as international studies, comparative politics,
music, and so forth. The centre offers a full sequence of Japanese language courses at the
undergraduate level, and students enrolled in the Japanese studies honours program have the
opportunity to undertake an honours-level Japanese language subject (Figure 1).
New courses
Since the publication of the 1997 Directory of Japanese Studies in Australia and New
Zealand, very few new Japan-related subjects have been introduced. Contemporary Japan:
Culture and Identity is one that was introduced in 1999. Japanese for Specific Purposes
(renamed Japanese for Research in 2004) was introduced in 2000 to meet the demands of
increasing numbers of Japanese native speakers. Japanese history courses were withdrawn
when the centres Japan historian moved to another university in 1997. In a cost-conscious
environment, the faculty only allows new courses if there are compelling reasons, and requires
a minimum of 40 students in level-two and level-three courses, which new courses on Japan
are unlikely to attract. The centre now offers a larger number of generic courses, such as
Asia and the World and Australia and Asia Pacific, that include significant study of Japan.

The centre offers honours degrees in Japanese studies. Most honours students work on
social science topics; interest in topics related to Japanese language and linguistics remains
low. Students can choose a joint honours program combining study in the centre with study in
other departments/disciplines. University rules now require all postgraduate research students
to have one principal supervisor and one co-supervisor. Centre staff now co-supervise
postgraduate students from gender studies, environmental studies, politics, history and other
disciplines, including students enrolled in other departments. The number of postgraduate
and honours students has increased in the past three years, as has the number of students
from Japan in postgraduate programs. Womens Studies Professor Chilla Bulbeck, for example,
is currently supervising three PhD students from Japan whose research topics concern gender.
Research programs
The research strength of the centre lies in its integrated approach to the social, political and
economic development of modern Japan, with heavy reliance on original sources. Prominent
areas are education, politics, foreign policy, religion, contemporary social and economic
development, and theoretical linguistics. Some Japan teaching staff have expanded their

research interests to more general issues including war, conflict and nation building, with

Grants and funding

Purnendra Jain received an Australian Research Council Large Grant (200103) for a project
on Japans Subnational Governments in International Affairs. He has since presented and
published several research papers on this subject and a book is under contract with
71
RoutledgeCurzon. Professor Jain also received an Asia Centre Grant in 2000 for a workshop
on Crisis and Conflict in Asia and a Japan Culture Centre local grant in 2003 for a miniconference on War, Conflict and Nation-building. A book edited by Jain, OLeary and
Patrikeeff, Crisis and Conflict in Asia: Local, Regional and International Responses
(2002), resulted from the workshop, and the proceedings of the mini-conference held in
September 2003 are available on <www.glocosen.org>.
Japan-related research and teaching in other faculties and departments

No semester-length program on Japan is offered elsewhere on campus. Some thematic
subjects taught outside the centre, in disciplines such as history, politics, gender studies,
commerce and management, have Japan-related content. Music offers biennially a levelthree course in Japanese music and an elective. The Elder School of Music also offers some
courses that concern Japan. Science and engineering departments have forged research and
teaching links with Japanese counterparts. One of the most remarkable projects is
CANGAROO (Collaboration between Australia and Nippon for a Gamma Ray Observatory
in the Outback) developed jointly by the Universitys Department of Physics and Mathematical
Physics and the Institute of Cosmic Ray Research at University of Tokyo (see http://
www.physics.adelaide.edu.au/astrophysics/).
Exchange programs
The University of Adelaide has student exchanges with 10 universities in Japan: Meiji
University, Hiroshima Shudo University, Kansai Gaidai, Kansai University, the International
University of Japan, the University of Electro-communications in Tokyo, Waseda University,
Okayama University, Hosei University and Hokkaido University.
Two factors particularly constrain the expansion of these programs. The first is financial.
Scholarships offered by the Association of International Education Japan (AIEJ) are the
main source of financial support for Australian students in Japan. The university has withdrawn
the financial support it formerly provided to students on exchange programs.
The second difficulty concerns language ability, which students tend to perceive renders
them unable to join regular university classes such as at Meiji and Okayama Universities.
Students find more attractive the Kansai Gaidai exchange that offers Japanese language
courses and courses taught in English.
A positive development in exchange programs is the growing research links between
the University of Adelaide and Japanese universities. Professor Michael Brooks of the
Computer Science Department and Professor Kenichi Kanatani from Okayama University
organised a highly successful AustraliaJapan advanced workshop on computer vision in
September 2003 at the University of Adelaide. Nine Japanese researchers and 14 researchers
from Australia participated at the workshop, funded by the Japan Society for the Promotion
of Science and the Australian Governments Innovation Access Program. This is a longterm collaborative research project.
School programs
Centre staff assist primary and secondary schools with their Asian languages and study
programs. For example, in the last few years the centre has been involved in the annual
72
Essays AUS
languages on campus program for year 10 students in South Australian schools. The program
runs for two to three days and hundreds of students participate in a range of language
activities. It is likely that this program will be offered from 2004 to year 12 students instead
of year 10 students.
Current strengths and outlook

The University of Adelaide is the only tertiary institution in South Australia offering a full
Japanese language program and social science courses from first-year to PhD level. Centre
staff are well aware of the changing needs of students and employers, the community and
the university. Among many adjustments, some mentioned above, the centre introduced an
additional level of Japanese language for advanced students and Japanese native speakers.
Demand for Japan-related courses has stabilised as part of a national trend of students being
more interested in broad subjects than in-country studies. Moreover, while Japan is no longer
perceived as economically dynamic, demand for Japanese language and studies is unlikely to
grow. In response the centre has included Japan-related content in generic courses such as
Asia and the World, and Australia and Asia Pacific.
A very positive development has been the productive collaborations and research links
with Japanese institutions that some of the departments mentioned above are developing.
With the internationalisation and globalisation of academic programs, Japan studies and
research are no longer confined to Japanese studies departments. Interest in Japan and
research collaborations with Japanese institutions and scholars appear to be expanding in a
range of disciplines and this trend is certainly apparent at the University of Adelaide.

Flinders University
Curtis Andressen
The level of Japanese studies at Flinders University is relatively modest. Under an agreement
with the University of Adelaide, a selection of their Japanese language topics are taught at
Flinders University, which reciprocates by teaching Indonesian language topics on the
University of Adelaide campus. Hence, Flinders University does not have a Japanese language
program of its own.
Japanese studies has generally crossed departmental boundaries. In the past, courses
have been taught in the history department, and at present topics are found in the School of
Business Economics and in American studies. The bulk of the topics, however, are located
within the Centre for Asian Studies and Languages. From January 2004 this centre became
part of the School of Political and International Studies, making Japanese studies topics available
to a greater range of students.
Undergraduate topics
At the undergraduate level there is only one topic offered exclusively on Japan Culture,
Society and Politics of Modern Japan which attracts approximately 40 students annually, a
high number for a non-core topic. Other topics in American studies and business economics
include components on Japan, primarily in courses about labour issues and multinational
corporations. A number of first-year topics, mostly within the Centre for Asian Studies and
Languages, have a significant component devoted to Japan. One example is Asia: the Modern
World. Finally, throughout the Faculty of Social Sciences there are several topics that integrate
aspects of Japan, such as Environment and Development in Asia; Ideas about Asia;
Democracy and Human Rights in Asia; Australia and the World; and A Survival Guide to
Globalisation.
Postgraduate topics
While some students study Japan for their honours degree, there are no set topics on Japan at
this level. At the postgraduate level, however, the topic Japan: Globalisation and Crisis is
offered as part of the MA (International Relations) degree on the Flinders campus while its
offshore equivalent, Japan: Globalisation and Crisis, is available in Hong Kong, Singapore and
China as part of the MA (International Relations, Economy and Trade) degree. Offshore
numbers are approximately 150 per year.

Exchange agreements
Flinders University has exchange agreements with Ryukoku University, Chuo University and
Yokohama National University, and is expanding its links. The number of students going to
Japan in any one year is still low, however, not exceeding single figures.
Outlook
Student interest in Japan at Flinders University is modest, but stable. Given Japans prominent
position in the region in economic terms (despite a long-term slowdown) students continue to
be interested in the role it plays. Generally, however, this is manifested as studies of Japan
forming parts of many different topics in a number of departments rather than being
concentrated in any particular department or school.

La Trobe University
Kaori Okano and Lidia Tanaka
Japanese studies commenced at La Trobe University in 1989 in the Division of Asian

Languages, within the Department of Linguistics. Following structural changes in the 1990s,
it is now located in the Asian studies program, which also offers Chinese, Indonesian, Sanskrit,
Hindi and Asian studies. The Asian studies program is within the School of Social Sciences
in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, along with anthropology/sociology and
politics.
Undergraduate studies
Two streams of undergraduate Japanese language subjects are offered for beginners and
for students holding the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE). Students can major in
Japanese in several courses including the Bachelor of Asian Studies, the Bachelor of Arts
and the Diploma in Languages. Both the BAS and the BA can be taken as double degrees in
combination with the Bachelor of Media Studies, Bachelor of Business, Bachelor of Economics
and Bachelor of Law. Many students also study Japanese as elective subjects.
The number of undergraduate students studying Japanese fluctuated during the 1990s.
Heavy demand in 1993 saw a quota of 120 imposed for first-year Japanese beginners. In
2003, however, there were 90 enrolments and no quota. Over half of the first-year students
take Japanese as an elective, which affects the progression to second-year Japanese subjects.
Approximately two-thirds of students taking beginners Japanese are international students
with a kanji background, but the number of students in the post-VCE stream has doubled
over the same period.
Japan-related subjects are offered both inside and outside the Asian studies program.
They cover literature, sociology/anthropology, politics, linguistics, business, education and
theatre.
Honours and postgraduate studies

Honours students in the Asian studies program work on Japanese studies in two streams.
Honours in Japanese involves two language subjects, a method/theory subject and a thesis
that draws extensively on primary and secondary sources in Japanese language. Honours in
Asian studies involves three subjects of a chosen academic discipline and a thesis on a
Japan-related topic.
The Asian studies program offers thesis-only postgraduate courses for the award of
MA and PhD. There are currently four PhD students (three are on scholarship) and one MA
student. Topics include interpretation of yokobue (medieval literature), Kobayashi Hideo,
Victorian womens travel diaries in Meiji Japan, the diasporic identity of Japanese-Bolivian
poet Shimose, and N.P. Barnett in Sydney.

Exchange programs
La Trobe University has exchange agreements with Kansai Gaikokugo Daigaku, Ristumeikan
Asia Pacific University, Saga University, Kumamoto Gakuen University, Hiroshima University
and Kyoto Tachibana Womens University. Several students participate in exchange programs
each year, helped by university scholarships.
Special programs
The Japanese program receives teacher trainees from St Andrews (Momoyama Gakuin)
University and Kobe Shoin University for three-week periods. They teach classes under
supervision and provide students with an opportunity to experience different teaching styles.
Open learning
La Trobe University has been a provider for the OPAL Japanese open learning language
program for several years. The course is aimed at primary and secondary teachers who
intend to teach Japanese or who wish to upgrade their language proficiency. Enrolments
were strong until the Federal government withdrew funding.
Research at La Trobe University

Research on Japan-related topics at La Trobe University covers a wide range of disciplines.
Professor Yoshio Sugimotos research focuses on the sociology of Japanese society. Dr Ian
Carruthers specialises in Japanese theatre, Shakespeare and the Suzuki Company. Associate
Professor Raj Pandey studies medieval and womens literature. The research of Dr Kaori
Okano is in the areas of education, youth studies and sociology/anthropology. Dr Lidia Tanaka
is researching sociolinguistics, bilingualism and conversation analysis. Dr Chris Kings research
is on public health, while Dr Rio Otomo focuses on literature.
Recent publications of monographs include Yoshio Sugimotos Introduction to Japanese
Society (Cambridge University Press, 2003, second edition), Ian Carrutherss Performing
Shakespeare in Japan (CUP, co-edited with R. Minami and J. Gillies) and Kaori Okanos
Education in Contemporary Japan: Inequality and Diversity (CUP, 1999, co-authored

Sayuki Machida
Japanese studies at Melbourne University began in the early postwar years with courses in
Japanese politics, history and economic history. In 1965 the Department of East Asian Studies
started to offer Japanese language courses. In following years Japanese studies became part
of the Department of Asian Languages and Anthropology, and then in 1993 the Japanese and
Chinese programs together formed the Department of Japanese and Chinese Studies.
Professor Coaldrake was appointed the Foundation Professor of Japanese in July 1992. The
Japanese program is now situated in the Melbourne Institute of Asian Languages and Societies
(MIALS), along with four other programs.
The Melbourne Institute of Asian Languages and Societies

MIALS was established in 1998 as a major institute for teaching, research and collaboration.
By coordinating and developing Asian studies across the university, MIALS strengthens the
universitys role as an international centre for Asian studies. Its achievements were praised
in a 2003 external review and recommendations have been put forward to promote research
and learning in mainstream Asian studies and languages under the Asia-Melbourne agenda.
Four main languages programs Arabic, Chinese, Indonesian and Japanese are situated
within MIALS. Apart from offering a rich language program, the institute offers other Japanrelated subjects, encompassing disciplines as diverse as anthropology, art, architecture,
geography, history, political science, political economy, philosophy, gender studies, law,
economics, music, linguistics, language and culture.
Japanese is the institutes largest program in terms of student numbers, largely from its
language program. Over the period 19932003, the number of equivalent full-time students
has been stable at around 180.
The Japanese program

Students can major in Japanese as a part of an arts degree or can enrol in diploma, postgraduate
diploma, honours, graduate diploma, masters by thesis and coursework, and PhD courses.
The program has three streams based on students level of Japanese proficiency. The
major in Japanese has been developed since the 1997 Directory of Japanese Studies in
Australia and New Zealand through the introduction of enhanced-mode Japanese into the
beginners stream and the replacement of the hierarchical system of streaming language
subjects with a more skills- and content-oriented approach.
The enhanced-mode beginners stream was introduced in 200102. The new Japanese
1A and 2A courses are offered in the first semester, and 1B and 2B are offered in the second
semester. Enhanced-mode subjects provide four two-hour lecture and tutorial sessions and a
78
Essays AUS
one-hour instructor-guided self-access session per week. The enhanced-mode program
accelerates students learning by contracting three years of learning into two and allowing
students to go on to honours immediately after their third year even if they had never studied
Japanese before university. The previous subjects of Japanese 1A Core + IT (information
technology) to Japanese 3B Core + IT were all absorbed into the new enhanced Japanese
1A2B.
The advanced subjects of Japanese 4A, 4B, Japanese 5A, 5B, Japanese 6A, 6B, Japanese
Language and Culture, and Advanced Multimedia A, B were either revised or replaced with
new enhanced-mode subjects that provide a wider range of academic and generic skills as
well as language skills. The new subjects are Advanced Japanese A & B (which replace
Japanese 4A & 4B), Advanced Japanese Grammar, Colloquial Japanese, Japanese Writing
System, Japanese Language & Culture (revised), Reading Contemporary Japanese,
Introduction to Translation, and Study of Japanese Language. Other language subjects remain
unchanged.
Most of the Japanese studies subjects available to major and honours students have not
changed since 1997. Some changes have been made to interdisciplinary subjects and those
outside of the program. The course Inventing Asian Tradition is no longer offered and the
course Total War: Asia and the Pacific was added after Dr Charles Schencking moved to the
history department and Japanese programs.
Achievements
The foundation of MIALS as the hub for Asia-related learning, teaching and research at the
undergraduate and postgraduate levels has been a major achievement. A recent review
recommended that MIALS should have the role of promoting research and learning in

mainstream Asian studies and languages under the Asia-Melbourne agenda put forward by
the vice-chancellor to promote internationalisation in Melbourne.
The restructuring of course content has resulted in a new enhanced-mode beginners
stream, the enrichment of advanced language subjects, the strengthening of Japanese studies
and growth at the postgraduate level (three PhDs in 2002, one PhD graduate in 2003).
The enhanced-mode beginners stream has been successfully reviewed and benchmarked
by Professor Noguchi of Nagoya University, and will be assessed again in another two years.
The new advanced subjects are being implemented and will be revised in the next couple of
years to finalise their content. Enrolments in Japanese studies have expanded because of
decisions to share the Japanese history position with the Department of History and to establish
partnerships with the School of Art History in teaching undergraduate and honours Japanese
art subjects and with the Faculty of Architecture in teaching Japanese architecture.
The program has also assisted and contributed to speech contests and business Japanese
tests for the Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO). The Japanese program was involved
with the Making Our Difference conference, organised by the School of Languages and
MIALS in October 2003.
Since 1998 two staff have been granted PhDs, one has recently completed a PhD and
two are currently making progress toward their doctorates. Publications over the past five
years include a book on AustraliaJapan relations by Professor Coaldrake, entitled Japan
from War to Peace: the Coaldrake Records 193956 (RoutledgeCurzon, 2003). Other
publications include three book chapters, 29 refereed journal articles, three volumes of
conference proceedings, eight non-refereed papers, and an English textbook for Japanese
speakers (T. Watanabe, 2003). Publications have appeared in respected international journals,
such as Japanese-Language Education around the Globe (S. Machida), Language
Learning and Technology (E. Toyoda), Multilingua (J. Ohashi), System (M. Kubota, S.
Machida), as well as Australian journals of international standing such as the Australian
Review of Applied Linguistics and Japanese Studies.
Professor Coaldrake has received two large Australian Research Council (ARC) grants
one to research Secret Design Treaties and the Creation of an Architectural Profession in
the Tokugawa Period and one to study Model Diplomacy: Japanese Architecture and the
International Exhibitions: Melbourne 1875 London 1910 over the periods 19982000 and
200002, respectively. In 2000 a small ARC grant was given to Ms S. Noguchi, and a Toyota
Foundation research grant was won by Dr C. Stevens jointly with Dr Setsuko Lee from
Tokyo Womens University for the period 19992001. Grants received from the University
of Melbourne include the International Exchange Agreements Collaborative Research Award
(C. Stevens), the IT & Multimedia Generic Project Grant (S. Sekiguchi) and several grantsin-aid (M. Kubota, S. Machida, S. Sekiguchi).
Professor Coaldrake is a Fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society (elected 1999) and received
the Centenary Medal for Service to Australian Society and the Humanities in Asian Studies
in 2003.
The future
As in other institutes, the pressure on staff is an ongoing issue. For the past five years, the
program has had only seven or eight Japanese language staff and two Japanese studies staff.
80
Essays AUS
A number of issues need to be considered carefully and goals need to be set to allow staff
sufficient time for research as well as teaching and administration.
In 2003 MIALS had its initial five-year review. The enhanced-mode course has been
recommended for further review in 2005 to determine its future syllabus, staff allocation and
student achievements. The staffstudent ratio was reduced in the new enhanced-mode
courses, but the allowance for casual teachers increased to cover the reduction in contact
hours.
The advanced stream will need to be monitored over the next few years to assess
whether it is meeting the needs of students, providing effective content and optimising staff
resources.
Another issue is how Japanese studies subjects are to be offered in the future. A
balance needs to be struck between discipline-based and area-based studies. The program
has been committed to discipline strength, but also recognises that disciplines change as
knowledge expands across traditional boundaries.

Monash University
Ross Mouer and Robyn Spence-Brown
Monashs program in Japanese studies was established in 1966. It is now the largest of 12
programs in Monashs School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics, which is located in the
Faculty of Arts. The Japanese program offers majors in Japanese studies (taught in English)
and in Japanese language (incorporating a strong sociocultural and interactive emphasis).
The postgraduate program includes two coursework masters (Applied Japanese Linguistics;
Interpreting and Translation), graduate and postgraduate degrees and diplomas, and research
students completing MA and PhD theses. Staff research reflects their broad interests and
commitment to interdisciplinary approaches. The program continues to evolve as it responds
to internal and external changes.
The Japanese Studies Centre (established in 1981 through a consortium of five Melbourne
universities) adds to the profile of Japanese studies at Monash. The centres director is a
member of staff in the Japanese program. Recent renovations and extensions to the centre
including an auditorium, researchers offices and a manga library have enhanced its ability
to serve as a focus for Japanese studies and Japan-related events in Melbourne. The centre
runs an extensive seminar program and since 1995 has housed the Melbourne Centre for
Japanese Language Education (established with an endowment from the Nippon Foundation),
which supports Japanese language education, especially in schools, and provides professional
education seminars and other support for teachers. The Japanese Studies Centre also supports
a resources centre in the main university library and provides a forum for a large number of
staff engaged in Japan-related teaching and research throughout the university. In 2003 about
100 people attended the inaugural meeting of the Monash University Japan Focus Group.
Undergraduate program
At the undergraduate level, Japanese is taught through 12 semester-length levels. At the
higher levels a content-based approach has been adopted, and structured sociocultural content
is introduced. At advanced levels a unit in interpreting and translation is available and can
lead to specialised studies at the postgraduate level. All undergraduate units represent oneeighth (6 points) of a full-time one-year load (48 points). The major is defined as six sequenced
language units plus two electives at the second- or third-year level, either language units
concentrating on reading skills or Japanese studies units. Japanese language teaching at
Monash is designed to provide students with effective learning experiences that will enable
them to achieve communicative competence in Japanese in both oral/aural and textual domains;
cultural awareness and sensitivity along with a range of inter-cultural skills; a range of vocational
skills; knowledge of new technologies that aid learning, communication and research; a
sustained interest in Japanese language, society and culture; and a basis for continuing to
study the language and sociocultural phenomena in Japan. A special enhancement program
82
Essays AUS
is offered to outstanding secondary school students to study a first-year university sequence
in Japanese. Until recently, programs were available to retrain teachers, but the demand for
teacher upgrading seems to have receded as shortages of Japanese teachers have been
largely filled, and there is now an oversupply in some areas.
Undergraduate enrolments have remained steady over the past few years. In 2003
approximately 550 students were learning Japanese across the six year levels, and another
150 were enrolled in Japanese or Asian studies units. Over a third of language students are in
first-year beginners units (semester levels 1 and 2) and over half of those are international
fee-paying students. Many students from other faculties take level 1 as an elective. Often
these students are unable to fit in more than one or two units into their studies, although some
complete the major either within their degree program or as a Diploma in Languages (a
qualification designed to be completed concurrently with an undergraduate degree). Compared
with five or six years ago, more Australian students are coming to Monash with year 12
Japanese and experience in Japan, and fewer locals are starting Japanese from scratch.
Monash offers both a major and a minor in Japanese studies. The Japanese studies
major consists of eight six-point units, typically two in the first year, two or three in the second
year and three or four in the third year. As in the language major, those doing the Japanese
studies major may include study-abroad units (up to 24 points) and can take up to three
Japanese language units.
Enrolments in Japanese studies have declined somewhat over the last decade, owing in
part to a lower level of interest in Japan and to the increased number of students doing double
degrees that make it difficult to complement a major in the language with additional studies
units. Teaching at the undergraduate level has evolved considerably over the past few years;
Japanese content has increasingly been incorporated in more broadly defined units dealing
with social and cultural change in Asia and with issues related to globalisation. The units
Women in Asia and Theory and Research for Asian Studies (an honours preparatory unit)
evolved from Japan-specific units. Some staff members teach in units located in other
programs, resulting in a spillover approach to mainstreaming for students in other disciplines.
For those wanting to focus on Japan, this has resulted in the subject being treated in a more
explicitly comparative fashion. Japan-related units have also been coloured in recent years
by the increasingly conspicuous presence of Japanese background speakers. At present,
Japan-focused units are available on traditional, modern and popular culture in contemporary
Japan, Japans society and economy, aspects of Japanese management, AustraliaJapan
relations, Japanese linguistics, sociolinguistic phenomena in Japan, and the acquisition of
Japanese as a second language. Students may also take other units within and outside the
school that have substantial Japan-related content (i.e., units with a broader Asian focus or a
specific theoretical concern that is informed by the Japanese experience). Currently the firstyear sequence incorporates a unit of Asian history and a unit focused on contemporary
Japan. Second- and third-year units are offered on a rotating basis, with at least three being
available in any given year. While reducing the number of units offered has resulted in fewer
choices for students, larger enrolments in the remaining units have brought some economies.
Students completing the Japanese studies major may do the honours program in Japanese.
Staff responsible for language and studies units have been quick to utilise mixed teaching
modes, and most units in the Japanese program are taught using WebCT. The Japanese
program has long been committed to curriculum development and innovation. In the 1990s an
83
extensive series of textbooks and associated distance learning materials was published. Over
the past few years the emphasis has shifted to web-based curriculum development,
commencing with the development of online interactive materials to accompany the Sakura
textbook for beginners. A major project (the GOLD project) is developing a sequence of
advanced content-based units with the potential to be delivered partially online. The units are
being successfully implemented on the Clayton campus, and will be available in Hong Kong
in the near future. Japanese studies staff have been active in developing units in Asian studies
and international studies, and these units are delivered across multiple campuses using multimode delivery and online discussion forums.
Agreements with 11 Japanese universities make it possible for advanced students to
study in Japan for six to twelve months. Many are able to obtain Association for International
Education Japan (AIEJ) or Monbusho scholarships, with supplementary support from
scholarships offered within Monash. Approximately 150 students have studied at the 11
universities from 1995 to 2002 (Table 1). The Japanese program also oversees an intensive
10-week program in Kanazawa with support from the Ishikawa prefectural government.

Semester levels 5 and 6 are taught between early December and early February each year.
Approximately 15 students participate in this program each year on a fee-paying basis. This
allows motivated students to cover eight semester levels (four years) of Japanese during
their three-year undergraduate program. It is also an attractive option for students finding it
difficult to fit a Japanese major into a four- or five-year double-degree program.
Postgraduate program
In 2003 the Japanese program conducted postgraduate coursework programs in Japanese
language (graduate diploma and postgraduate diploma), applied Japanese linguistics (graduate
diploma, coursework and research MA) and Japanese interpreting and translating (postgraduate
diploma, coursework MA). Graduate and postgraduate diplomas are equivalent to two
semesters of full-time study (48 points), and the coursework masters degrees require three
semesters (72 points). The masters by research takes two years. The coursework program
in applied linguistics has generated a steady stream of higher-degree research students,
especially at the MA level, and has proved to be an attractive path to research for overseas
students. The labour intensiveness of the interpreting/translation program and pressures to
rationalise will likely lead to the theoretical components jointly being taught with those in the
masters in translation program (offered by the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics
across several Asian and European languages). It is hoped that the program will start to
generate research students in translation studies. Although there is no longer a separate
graduate coursework program in Japanese studies, students with an interest in Japan can
enrol in the diploma or masters in Asian studies. Japanese studies staff teach in several of the
Asian studies units and actively supervise students working on Japan-related issues.
There has been an increase in research students at postgraduate level. In 2003 the
program had 12 PhD students enrolled (8 full-time and 4 part-time, with 2 working externally
in Japan) and 3 research MA students. Four of the PhD candidates were from Australia; the
others came from five other countries. Staff share a concern about the small number of
Australian students coming through with good disciplinary training to supply Australia with its
next generation of scholars on Japan.
The Japanese program has an established reputation for research, and many of its past
members now work at prestigious universities overseas. The program has particular expertise
in the areas of applied linguistics, second language acquisition, Japan literacy, sociology and
work relations, performing arts, popular culture, AustraliaJapan relations, the history of ideas,
law, the internationalisation of education, and computer-assisted learning. The research of
most staff fits comfortably in two of the Faculty of Arts formally recognised areas of research
strength: (a) language and society; and (b) political, social and cultural change in the Asia
Pacific region. The programs traditional emphasis on the teaching of Japanese has meant
that it has expertise in that area, although a number of staff have written extensively on
paradigms in Japanese studies and area studies more generally. Since 1997 the Japanese
Studies Centre has maintained a project on AustraliaJapan relations with five full-day
symposia, numerous seminar presentations and various invited guests working on aspects of
that relationship. Over the past two years the program has moved to raise further its research
profile, in keeping with the greater emphasis being placed on research in the university.
Several staff have organised ongoing seminars for students around their own research interests,
85
the most notable being around the language teaching and research forum and a group focused
on academic interaction (organised by Helen Marriott), a group focused on the Internet in
Asia (Alison Tokita) and a study group researching Australias fee-paying students from Asia
in Australia (Ross Mouer). The Japanese Studies Centre facilitates a monthly forum for PhD
students in Melbourne (chaired in 2003 by Kaori Okano from LaTrobe), and research monitoring
helps students maintain momentum. As a result, the programs research presence has been
bolstered in recent years by the active publishing of several postgraduate students.
Challenges
Monash experienced the tsunami of Japanese language students in the late 1980s and early
1990s. By 1995 it taught 78 per cent of equivalent full-time student numbers in the Faculty
of Arts and employed 27 academic staff. However, while the Department of Japanese Studies
continued to consolidate its activities in the latter part of the 1990s, student numbers began to
fall, dropping from 1995 to 2000 and then levelling off in 200103. It is unlikely that the large
enrolments generated by the tsunami will again be achieved in the foreseeable future.
To a large extent the dip to a lower overall level of stable enrolments reflects a change
in the external environment: by the late 1990s the Asian studies boom had passed, Japans
relative importance as an export market was declining, and Australias bilateral relationship
with Japan was drifting in the political arena. Internally, restructuring of the Faculty of Arts
was accompanied by a shift of students from arts to other faculties. At the same time, changes
in the funding formulae adopted by the government, the university and the faculty made it
more difficult to recoup costs for heavy teaching loads in the past. The weighting given to
research increased, and some surpluses earned from outside activities were clawed back
from the department. Over a five- to six-year period, the number of academic staff in the
Japanese program dropped from 27 to 12. The department withdrew from distance education
and sought to consolidate on-campus teaching at its main campus, although some mixedmode delivery has been provided to other campuses in Australia and overseas. The department
also scaled back the preparation of its own textbooks, as staff energies were redirected into
the development of a web-based curriculum. In line with other areas of the Faculty of Arts,
class sizes increased, less-viable units were discontinued, and there was a proportionally
greater use of casual staff. The sense of uncertainty was exacerbated by changes to budgetary
and administrative units. At the beginning of 1999 the Department of Japanese Studies was
merged with the Department of Asian Languages, followed by a further amalgamation with
linguistics and European studies to form the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics in
January 2002, and the department came to be known as the Japanese program. Although
these changes have been disruptive, they have also brought about increased collaboration in
teaching, supervision and research with colleagues in other language programs and linguistics.
The changes shaping Japanese studies have not been confined to Monash or to Australia.
Japanese studies is being challenged by shifts as cultural studies come to have a marked
influence and the usefulness of the area studies approach is questioned in an increasingly
globalised world. The extended recession in Japan over the past decade has decreased
opportunities for funding research and restructuring in Japan has reflected broader changes
in Japanese society. Japanese studies at Monash will need to respond to those changes and
their implications for learning about Japan. The changes in Japan include the spread of
86
Essays AUS
community-based Japanese language programs for Japans newcomers, restratification of
society and the reorganisation of work and labour markets. Its external relationships are
increasingly being mediated by an emerging Japanese diaspora overseas and by the accelerated
diffusion of Japanese popular culture abroad. At the same time, the presence of foreign
popular culture and the use of English within Japan also affect the way Japanese are able to
interact with those beyond their boarders. All of these developments shape the demand for
Australian graduates with the capacity to interact in Japanese and in English.
Within Australia, the increasing numbers of overseas students, the concerns of students
to have vocationally relevant training, the shrinking of funding, especially in the humanities,
and the increasing emphasis on research in university funding models are reshaping patterns
of student demand, modes of teaching and staff priorities. It is likely that the federal elections
sometime in 2004 will have at least a short-term impact on Australias relations with Japan,
and on perceptions regarding the significance of that relationship for Australia and the need
for Japan literacy in Australia perceptions that will be mediated by the role the media
decides to play with regard to multiculturalism, immigration issues and Australias interface
with the rest of the world.
All of these changes present new opportunities and challenges for Japanese studies at
Monash, and at many other institutions in Australia.

Murdoch University
Radha Krishnan
Murdoch Universitys School of Asian Studies is the oldest in Western Australia, having been
established in 1975. The school has taught Chinese and Indonesian languages for nearly all of
this time, and introduced Japanese language courses in 1990. In 1991 the school was the first
in Australia to introduce a four-year language degree incorporating a year of intensive language
study, usually in-country. In 2004 Japanese studies became the Japanese program and joined
the newly created School of Social Sciences and Humanities within the Division of Arts.
Currently Japanese studies staff include an associate professor, a senior lecturer, two
lecturers and a part-time program officer. Apart from Japanese language courses, units in
history, economics, culture, politics and society are also offered. Units are offered internally,
by distance education and online.
The Japanese and Asian studies programs focus on three areas in the Asian region:
China, Japan and Southeast Asia (including Indonesia). The Japanese program has consistently
achieved excellent results in student surveys of teaching quality, with over 95 per cent favourable
responses. Students can major in Japanese studies over a period of four years and obtain a
Bachelor of Asian Studies (Specialist) in Japanese Studies. This includes a year of intensive
language training in Japan (the Semester in Asia), normally in the third year of a degree
program. It is more frequent for students to pursue a double major involving another discipline
such as law, commerce, communication studies or environmental science. Programs are
structured to encourage interdisciplinary studies and a double major, which enhances
employability as well as expanding the personal horizons of students.
Undergraduate programs
A total of nine semester-long units are offered in Japanese language and five units are offered
in English language. In 2003 some 177 students (29.78 equivalent full-time students) were
enrolled in Japanese language units (from introductory to advanced levels) while some 143
(21.5 EFTSU) students have taken the English language units on Japan. Eighty per cent of
students are full time while the remaining 20 per cent are part time. Some 20 per cent of
students pursue a major in Japanese studies while the majority elects for a double major in
subjects such as commerce, law, communication studies, environmental science and politics.
The Japanese language units cater for students with no prior knowledge of the language
and for those who have studied at high school or who have acquired an equivalent level of
competence in Japan or elsewhere in Australia. The latter group are permitted direct entry
into second-year language units. Students majoring in Japanese studies are required to spend
two semesters in Asia under the supervision of one of six partner universities in Japan: Seikei,
Konan, Ryukoku, Kansai Gaidai, Himeji Dokkyo and Mukogawa Womens University. Upon

their return from Japan students complete their language study by enrolling in their final
Japanese language unit (Asian Language Project).
The semester in Asia involves total immersion in Japanese language within a Japanese
academic and homestay environment and has proved to be highly popular among students.
The language program aims to achieve competence in the four areas of reading, writing,
comprehension and speaking. The teaching staff use communicative methods of teaching
incorporating print and audiovisual materials.
The units in English include a first-year foundation unit entitled An Introduction to
Contemporary Japan. This is followed by second-year and third-year units on Modern
Japanese History, Contemporary Issues in Japan, Japanese Business and Japan in the World.
These units attempt to provide a rigorous analysis of Japan from the vantage point of several
social sciences and humanities disciplines.
Graduate programs
Honours in Japanese studies involves an additional year of study following the four-year
undergraduate degree. A dissertation takes up half of the total load while the remainder is
taken up with an honours seminar and further coursework, language studies and/or field
work. Graduate programs range from the Graduate Certificate and Postgraduate Diploma in
Asian Studies (Japanese), to the Master of Arts in Asian Studies to the Doctorate in Asian
Studies. In collaboration with the School of Education, the Japanese program offers a Graduate
Certificate and Graduate Diploma in Applied Language Education. These are primarily aimed
at secondary school teachers who wish to update their language skills. Similar updating can
be done by means of the Graduate Diploma in Development Studies. Currently, five students
are enrolled in the doctoral program while two have recently been awarded a doctorate.
Current strengths
Student preferences for a double major, the highly successful Semester in Asia program and
increasing success in garnering funds from Australian and Japanese donor organisations
contribute to the success of the Japan program. To this must be added the success of
undergraduate language students (some 21 level 1 students in the Japanese National Language
Proficiency tests) as well the growing graduate program. The two most recent doctorate
holders have had their theses published in a volume by a reputed publisher and one was
awarded a prize for the best thesis in the discipline of Asian studies by the Asian Studies
Association of Australia. The presence of the Asia Research Centre (funded by the Australian
Research Council) has been of immense benefit to graduate students.
The research focus of staff has been primarily in the disciplines of modern Japanese
history, language teaching, political economy and social history. The research output has been
published in several volumes and refereed journal articles. Staff are represented on the editorial
boards of Australian and overseas academic journals as well as on state and national
committees. They have been successful in receiving grants from bodies such as the Australia
Research Council. The program is grateful to several donor bodies, including the Japan
Foundation, the AustraliaJapan Foundation and the governments of Western Australia,
Australia and Japan for the provision of grants and generous scholarships. This funding has
89
greatly assisted in employing academic and administrative staff, supporting teaching and
research and building up the growing collection of materials on Japan in the Murdoch library.
Considerable time is spent by the staff on extension activities such as liaising with the
local Japanese Consulate (annual speech contest), the Hyogo Prefectural Government Cultural
Centre (organisation of conferences, visit of floating university) and the WA Department of
Education (conducting Tertiary Entrance Examination examinations in Japanese). The program
also runs an internship course for students of Himeji Dokkyo University who specialise in
the teaching of Japanese as a foreign language and an intercultural history course for
students of Meiji Gakuin University.
Typical employers of Murdoch University graduates have included public and private
sector organisations in Japan and Australia as well as private sector organisations in Singapore,
Hong Kong, Malaysia and the United Kingdom.
Future prospects
Despite these achievements Murdoch continues to face problems confronted by many small
to medium-sized universities in the current environment of higher education reform. These
include increasing staffstudent ratios and rising workloads, reduced funding in real terms
with the threat of closure of units with small enrolments, increasing reliance on part-time
staff, ever-increasing staff time taken up coordinating exchanges with Japanese universities,
the rising cost of visiting Japan for field work and the ongoing struggle to maintain the quality
of academic offerings under conditions of diminishing resources. As a part of the new School
of Social Sciences and Humanities, the Japanese (and Asian studies) programs have less
autonomy over resources and staff appointments.
Conclusion
Despite its small size the Japanese studies program at Murdoch has been very successful: 21
of its graduates have passed level 1 of the National Language Proficiency Tests conducted
by the Japanese government, donor bodies have offered students over A$2.8 million in
scholarships, 90 per cent of graduates have been offered jobs and there is a very successful
postgraduate program. The staff have been active in research and with community liaison.
These achievements can only be sustained if there is a strong commitment from the
government and the university to the promotion of programs relating to Asian studies in
general and Japanese studies in particular.

The University of Western Australia introduced Japanese language into teaching in the
Economics Department in 1970. In 1996 Japanese studies was amalgamated into the School
of Asian Studies in the Faculty of Arts.
Degrees
Japanese language and studies units are available in the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor
of Arts (Asian Studies) and as a combined (double) degree with law, commerce, economics
or engineering. Students can also take Japanese language and studies units as electives in all
other single or double degrees.
The Diploma of Modern Languages is available at both undergraduate and postgraduate
levels. Undergraduate students from other faculties can pursue a three-year program of
Japanese language concurrently with their degree studies. At postgraduate level, students
can undertake language study as part of the Graduate Certificate in Modern Languages or
Graduate Diploma in Modern Languages.
Japanese studies
As the institutional home of Japanese studies has changed, so has the teaching and research
focus. In the 1970s and 1980s the emphasis was on economics. The incorporation of Japanese
studies into Asian studies in the 1990s led to the appointment of staff with research expertise
in Japanese history, literature and contemporary culture and society. Over the past five years
two new undergraduate Japanese studies units have been established that examine issues
such as popular culture, emerging sexual identities, film and the impact of generational change:
Shifting Identities in Contemporary Japan and Tensions and Contradictions in Japanese Culture
and Society. These second- and third-year level units are rotated each year with Japan in
Changing Asia and attract a solid stream of mainly Japanese language students.
Other units in Asian studies also deal with Japan-related issues, as do other disciplines
at UWA. Economics, for instance, runs a unit entitled Contemporary Japanese Economy.
Language programs
The University of Western Australia offers two three-year streams in Asian languages, one
for beginners and one for students who have studied the language to Tertiary Entrance
Examination (TEE) level or equivalent. Japanese remains the largest of the three languages
taught in Asian studies. It has maintained steady enrolments and attracted local and overseas
students.
91
In 2004 UWA reduced the value of all undergraduate units after the first year from
eight to six points, cutting the contact hours by 25 per cent. To prevent any drop in standards,
Asian studies introduced two new units to the languages major: 213 and 216/316 (Table 1).
Japanese 213 is a booster unit designed to help non-TEE students catch up with the postsecondary stream while Japanese 216/316 enhances translation skills in English from
contemporary materials. Students in the TEE stream are required to take at least one nonlanguage Japanese studies unit to complete their three-year major.

Exchange programs
Students enrolled in Japanese language have the opportunity to do the equivalent of their third
year of language study by spending a semester in Japan. Asian studies currently has reciprocal
exchange agreements with Sophia University, Kansai Gaidai University and Himeji Dokkyo
University. The University of Western Australia provides several scholarships for the program
and the Western Australian government and Hyogo prefecture also offer scholarships. Students
from the Japanese universities study for one academic year at UWA.

The honours program in Asian studies is relatively new, but the program has been attracting
a small, steady number of students, and some have gone on to postgraduate level. An honours
in Japanese stream is offered within the honours program in Asian studies. Two students in
2002 were enrolled in honours in Japanese and two in 2003. The program comprises a
92
Essays AUS
dissertation of 12,000 words and three honours-level semester units. One of these units can
be a Japanese language unit. From 2003 students have had the option of completing a 6,000word translation component as part of their dissertation. Currently eight students are enrolled
in the PhD program, with one working on the topic of gender in Japan. The Nobuyuki and
Midori Nakashima Foundation fund is available for postgraduate students working on a Japanrelated topic, providing generous financial support for their fieldwork in Japan.
Teaching and research

There is still a relatively low flow on from the undergraduate level to postgraduate Japanese
studies. Asian studies is trying to address this by encouraging students on in-country and
Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) programs to consider postgraduate studies at UWA.
The possibility of establishing honours-level Japanese studies scholarships is also being actively
pursued.
The three staff in Japanese studies at UWA are all in the early stages of their academic
careers. Two have recently completed PhDs and the other is close to completing a doctorate.
The teaching responsibilities and the amount of time devoted to coordinating in-country studies
has limited research output in the past. The record is improving, however, with four refereed
articles published in 2003. The staff are regular participants in Japanese studies conferences
in Australia and abroad.
Current strengths and future prospects

The strength of the Japanese program at UWA is its well-integrated structure between language
and studies courses, and other units in Asian studies. Lower-level language units emphasise
practical use, and the upper-level units cover topics related to the studies units. The university
has responded to demands to offer interdisciplinary units as well as to employ flexible delivery
in teaching and learning.
The challenge for the immediate future is to raise the programs research profile and
attract more postgraduate students. Efforts will need to be made to maintain and advance the
quality of Japanese language and studies units within the limitations of current resources.

The Japanese Studies Association of Australia

Christopher Pokarier
The 13th biennial conference of the Japanese Studies Association of Australia celebrated the
25th anniversary of the founding of the association and was fittingly attended by many of the
pioneers of Japanese studies in Australia. The conference at the Queensland University of
Technology highlighted the breadth and depth of Japanese studies in Australia and its close
links with colleagues in Japan and other countries. It attracted about 230 participants from a
wide range of disciplinary areas.
The JSAA has had a diverse membership since its founding at The Australian National
University in 1978 through the efforts of Alan Rix, Harold Bolitho, Peter Drysdale and others.
This diversity has been one of its greatest strengths bringing a broader appeal, crossdisciplinary interaction and a continuing relevance as a range of issues concerning Japan
become salient at particular points in time. Yet the diversity of membership also makes
organising and promoting the association and its activities more difficult, and the organisation
competes with a range of discipline-based communities and conferences for academics
scarce time and resources. The strong interest that the JSAA and its biennial conference still
attracts, 25 years after its foundation, is testimony to the presence of a significant number of
individuals committed to the idea of an Australia-based Japanese studies community.
At the 2003 JSAA conference about 160 of the participants were based in Australia,
nearly 60 were Japan based notable given the SARS epidemic had sharply curtailed the
travel plans of many Japanese academics and about a dozen were Japanese and other
scholars based in East Asia and the United States. Only six of the delegates were based in
New Zealand, suggesting that the JSAA could do much more to deepen linkages with its
New Zealand counterpart. The number of paper proposals accepted at JSAA 2003, and their
distribution across disciplinary areas, offers further insight into the nature of the Japanese
studies community. Of some 160 papers, about 25 per cent were on language education and
linguistics, 20 per cent on sociology, 12 per cent on history and a similar proportion in the area
of arts, architecture and music. Law has proven to be a resilient and dynamic area, with
some 10 papers presented and a new national network of Japanese law researchers established
in the immediate lead-up to the conference. Literature has historically been strongly represented
at JSAA conferences and in 2003 some 15 per cent of papers were in that area. Participation
by literary studies scholars was perhaps enhanced by the presence at the conference of a
leading Japanese literary critic. Contemporary politics was less represented with five papers.
Although there were only six papers in the business and economics areas, not including
several sociology papers on management-related subjects, a roundtable session on Japanese
business attracted over 20 participants, many of whom were senior scholars who did not
present a paper in the regular sessions. This reflected the challenge that JSAA 2003 participants
94

faced of finding the time in busy teaching schedules to write specifically for the mid-year
conference.
Convenors of future JSAA conferences, and the associations leadership, face the
challenge of maintaining its appeal to academics in well-represented areas such as sociology,
language education, history and literature, while also attracting a broader range of social
science scholars. JSAA 2003 may have gone some way to striking this balance but more can
still be done. An ongoing difficulty is identifying and reaching scholars who are not located in
Japanese studies or Asian studies organisational areas in universities. The future growth of
the JSAA will depend in no small part on its capacity to meet this challenge. This requires
that the association not only find and contact people outside area studies schools and
departments, but also offer them value. Commitments of time and resources to the association
are likely to be at the expense of other academic affiliations. Established JSAA members can
make an important contribution to attracting a broader membership. The associations
membership has waxed and waned in response to external factors such as the surge in
interest in Japan in the late 1980s and the subsequent decline, and the administrative and
marketing efficacy of particular JSAA executives. With Australian universities expecting
more and more of their academic staff, and generally offering less administrative support
than in the past, maintaining voluntary academic associations has become more difficult. This
is true of the Japanese Studies Association, and has been compounded by the compliance
tasks and overheads associated with having become an incorporated body. Although
incorporation offers greater accountability of the associations assets, maintaining the association
has become a larger task, and future consideration might be given to hosting or co-hosting the
basic administration. In 2003 JSAA membership was enhanced by the option to join with the
conference registration. Some 240 people either are, or have been, JSAA members in the
200003 period. Conferences help secure membership renewals each year by promoting
interest. Overall, membership has fallen since the early 1990s, not so much reflecting the
somewhat diminished standing of Japan in the Australian media after all student numbers
remain very strong but the changing nature of staffing in Japanese language programs.
Increasingly, the delivery of programs depends on part-time staff, who generally identify less
with the JSAA. In 2003 the executive recognised this and introduced a discounted, part-time
membership. It also undertook this initiative to enhance its role in supporting and developing
postgraduate research in Japanese studies. JSAA membership includes a subscription to
Japanese Studies, a fully refereed journal with an international editorial board and readership,
published in May, September and December. The journal publishes high-quality scholarly
articles on various aspects of Japan, as well as book and film reviews, and has established a
reputation as one of the leading journals in the field. In addition to general non-thematic
editions, the journal regularly publishes guest-edited pieces on such themes as postwar politics,
the environment, literature, citizenship, the legal system, modern technology, management,
Japanese language teacher education and popular culture. These thematic issues are
particularly valuable for university teachers and students who use the up-to-date studies of
Japan contained in the journal to supplement course readings. Contributions are invited from
scholars around the world.
Although there are many more initiatives that the JSAA could undertake to foster the
further development of the Japanese studies community in Australia and links with scholars
95
in Japan and other countries, the inevitable resource and time limitations that plague voluntary
academic associations mean that valuable endeavours such as regular e-bulletins, online
databases of research and teaching interests, and the like will develop only incrementally at
best. Greater institutional support for the JSAA would quickly allow it to make a significant
additional contribution to Japanese studies. Demand for a vibrant Japanese studies community
in Australia remains very strong.

The University of Auckland

Rumi Sakamoto
The Japanese program at the University of Auckland began in 1968. Originally it focused on
Japanese language, literature and history of thought. In addition, the history department offered
a number of courses on Japanese history. In November 2001, following a decision of the
universitys council, the Department of Asian Languages and Literatures was restructured
into the School of Asian Studies. Under the new structure the Japanese program has developed
a considerable academic and administrative integration with the rest of the school. A Japanese
major must include an introductory stage-one course in Asian studies to ensure that students
have a broad knowledge of other Asian countries, from which Japans history, culture and
society cannot be separated. The new structure has fostered a number of research and
teaching collaborations between staff members whose primary research interests concern
Japan and those who have expertise in other areas of Asia. Within the Japanese program,
staff continue to strive for a balance between providing high-quality language courses and
the more recent commitment to deepening students understanding of Japan based on various
disciplines including literature, history and linguistics. Since 1997, one sociologist, two historians,
one socio-linguist, one applied linguist and one literary scholar have joined the Japanese program,
further strengthening Japanese studies at the University of Auckland. Within the context of
the significance of the trade and cultural ties between Japan and New Zealand, the school
intends to retain its place as the leading centre for the study of Japan and Japanese within the
New Zealand tertiary sector.
Research and teaching

Currently nine permanent staff members are involved in the Japanese program (one associate
professor, two senior lecturers, five lecturers, one senior tutor). In addition, there is one
postdoctoral fellow, and one professorial vacancy is still to be filled. The areas of expertise of
the staff members include linguistics, history, literature and media studies. The school also
depends on a willing pool of limited-term tutors to support permanent staff in language courses
and in stage-one tutorials.
The school offers a major and minor in Japanese, as well as a BA honours, MA and
PhD. Undergraduate courses in Japanese offer a wide range of subjects unrivalled in New
Zealand. In addition to language courses, students can select from courses on Japanese
culture and society, literature, history, popular culture and linguistics. Some of these courses
incorporate Japanese materials, thus enhancing students language skills while developing
their knowledge of Japanese culture and society. At advanced levels, students are encouraged
to focus on one of the following areas of specialisation: Japanese society and culture, literature,
history or linguistics. There are courses on Japan-related issues offered in other departments
including history and philosophy. Opportunities for postgraduate study at the School of Asian
97
Studies allow students to develop further their own interests in Japan and Japanese to an
advanced level. Some of the Japanese graduate courses (e.g., teaching Japanese as a second
language) are exclusively offered for the Faculty of Arts qualifications in translation and in
language teaching and learning. With a grant from the university in 2001, a Japanese staff
member initiated The Graduate Journal of Asia-Pacific Studies (GJAPS), a refereed
electronic journal for graduate students hosted on Faculty of Arts server; it has provided an
ideal publishing venue for graduate students in Japanese studies and Asian studies (the first
issue on Theorising Japanese History included two articles by University of Auckland
students). Although the school regularly attracts a range of doctoral candidates, the number
has been small (three in 2004), and this is one area in which the school will be focusing on
over the next few years.
Staff in the Japanese program are committed to the University of Aucklands vision of
being a research-led, international university. They regularly publish in academic journals and
other venues, attend conferences and are engaged with other research activities. With the
introduction of performance-based research funding, the central importance of research and
research-based teaching has been reaffirmed. Currently four staff members have secured
book contracts with publishers.

Yvonne Pakenham
The Auckland Institute of Technology became the Auckland University of Technology (AUT)
in 2000. Japanese at AUT has grown from small beginnings in 1960 to a full-time, three-year
degree and conjoint Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Business program in the School of
Languages. The program is focused on language acquisition and is practical and applied.
Relatively small classes enable a largely student-centred approach. There are nearly 200
equivalent full-time students and 10 full-time and part-time staff.
Teaching
The Japanese courses that started in the 1960s were mainly evening, part-time courses to
cater for adult students. The first full-time program, the Advanced Certificate in Japanese,
was introduced in 1987, and became a two-year, full-time Diploma in Japanese in 1988. In
1994 a three-year Bachelor of Arts (Japanese) program was accredited by the New Zealand
Qualifications Authority. Both programs have been offered concurrently since 1995. Many
of the language papers in the Diploma in Japanese are the same as in the first two years of
the Bachelor of Arts (Japanese), allowing students to staircase into the degree program.
Enrolment trends over the past few years indicate that this is an important and successful
pathway for students who do not initially meet the university entrance requirements. It is also
an option for intensive language study for students who already hold degrees.
Regular student evaluations of the delivery and content of papers ensure papers are
relevant and meet learning needs. From 2002 the BA structure was reviewed and double
majors and minors introduced. A new entry-level paper for students with no prior knowledge
of Japanese was introduced, along with a non-language Japanese Society and Culture paper.
This was partly to encourage non-language students to take some language and culture papers
as minors or electives.
The Japanese section has active exchange programs with Japan. An exchange program
with Kanda University of International Studies, Tokyo was introduced in 1998 and each year
there has been an exchange of students. Since 2003 there have also been exchanges with
Sapporo University and Hirosaki University. The university also established a reciprocal prize
agreement with the Tanaka Ikueikai Educational Trust and Technos International College to
award an AUT prize to a graduate of Techno International College and the Technos
International Prize for Academic Excellence and Commitment to International Understanding
to an AUT student. Each year four students participate in an all-expenses-paid, two-week
International Week hosted by Technos International College. They join students from Technos
International College, Pembroke College, Oxford and six American colleges to experience
Japanese society and culture.
99
Students also take part in the tertiary-level Japanese speech contest, held annually. In
2001 AUT students of Japanese won first prize in all three categories of the Auckland Regional
Japanese speech contest between students of UNITEC, the University of Auckland, Massey
University and AUT.
From 1995 to 2001 Nissan Motors awarded scholarships of up to NZ$3,000 each to BA
Japanese students for their final year of study.
Research
In keeping with the applied nature of the language programs, the aim of the research program
is to improve the learning experience of students and enable more effective teaching. In 1999
two lecturers, Debbie Corder and Grant Waller, received an Innovative Teaching Grant to
carry out research into self-directed learning and to develop computer-assisted language
learning (CALL) for kanji. This research project is ongoing and is evaluating the effectiveness
of CALL software in relation to autonomous learning. The evaluation has shown interesting
findings affecting the introduction of CALL into a program of study. The Japanese section
also won a grant of NZ$24,800 for a joint proposal with Christchurch Polytechnic for a
Peach Friendship and Exchange (PEEP) grant to research trends in Japanese language learning
in New Zealand. Other research includes reducing learner anxiety, effective kanji-learning
methods, and development of cognitive strategies in kanji learning.
Advances in IT
The greatest achievement for the Japanese section in information technology has been in the
area of computer-assisted language teaching, in kanji learning. A hypercard software package
was introduced into the Japanese programs in 2001, and has been trialled and evaluated
since. The most innovative feature of this package is that it can be adapted without any
knowledge of computer programming, for any curriculum at any level, so that it is always
relevant. Evaluation findings have indicated that the software is effective for mastering kanji.
On the basis of student feedback and evaluation findings, a new cross-platform version is
being developed and further development of CALL material for other aspects of language
learning is being planned.
The future of Japanese studies at AUT

The number of students taking Japanese is slowly growing and the enrolment trends would
indicate a changing student profile. An increasingly large number of AUT students have
Asian backgrounds, coming mainly from China, Korea and Taiwan. The number of international
students has also increased in the past year despite external factors such as SARS and the
Asian financial crisis. The strong New Zealand dollar has not deterred overseas students
from wanting to study Japanese in New Zealand, as it remains a more economically viable
place to study than their home country or Japan. There is a need to increase the numbers of
non-Asian students taking Asian studies.

The University of Canterbury

Susan Bouterey
For many years Japanese has been the most successful language program offered at the
University of Canterbury. It is the largest language program at Canterbury and one of the
largest in New Zealand. It is also one of the highest income generators (proportionally) for
the university.
The Japanese program grew rapidly after it was established in 1971 under the auspices
of the German Department. By 1974 there were four full-time academic staff and more than
100 students. In 1975 the program was re-established as the Department of Asian Languages
with a fully fledged undergraduate and postgraduate program in Japanese studies. The program
continued to grow substantially in the 1980s fuelled by a worldwide boom in Japanese studies.
Funding and staffing, however, did not keep pace with growth and in 1990 the department
was forced to limit the number of entrants to its language courses. When limits were lifted in
1999, enrolments rose dramatically. While this eventually meant additional funding and staff
for the department, the Japanese programs resources were placed under considerable strain
in the interim.
In 2003 the University of Canterbury underwent a major restructuring and the Asian
Studies Department was merged with European language departments to form the School of
Languages and Cultures. Other programs within the school are Chinese, French, Russian,
German and Spanish. Arabic is also offered as a first-year subject but has still to be established
as a degree program. Japanese is the largest program within the new school both in terms of
staff and equivalent full-time student numbers.
In 2004 there will be seven full-time academic staff, and nearly 400 students will be
enrolled in first-year papers alone.
Undergraduate and postgraduate programs

The strength of the current Japanese studies program at Canterbury University lies in its
broad offerings at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. The program encompasses
language, literature, culture, geography, history, sociology, gender studies, theatre studies and
cross-cultural psychology. Some Japan-related courses are also taught in other departments.
The history department offers courses in Japanese history and economic history at both
undergraduate and graduate level; Japanese music is covered in undergraduate courses offered
by the School of Music; and Japanese religion and politics are covered in a more general
sense by some courses in the Schools of Philosophy and Religious Studies, and Political
Science and Communication.
While the majority of students taking Japanese are from the Faculty of Humanities and
Social Sciences, courses also attract students from other faculties, including the Faculties of
Visual and Performing Arts, Business and Economics, Engineering and Forestry, and Law.
101
Students are encouraged to combine language studies with another discipline and to take
double majors or degrees to maximise career opportunities. Several additional non-language
courses, including two undergraduate papers on Japanese culture and society, have been
introduced recently to satisfy student demand and better equip students to enter the workforce
upon graduation or to undertake postgraduate studies. Partly in response to proposed changes
to degree requirements at Canterbury from 2006, two new language courses at second- and
third-year level have been introduced to complement core courses. This should further raise
students proficiency in Japanese.
In the early 1990s the department reorganised the core language acquisition courses to
cater for the large and then growing numbers of high-school leavers wishing to advance their
study of the Japanese language. Accordingly, first-year Japanese was split into two separate
courses, a beginners and a post-Bursary course. At the same time, provision was made for
students with more advanced proficiency in the language to gain direct entry into the upperlevel courses through a placement test.
Enrolments in the postgraduate program remain small but students are of a consistently
high calibre and there is notable growth in numbers at the upper echelons, with several PhD
students currently enrolled.
Recent trends and developments

Like other tertiary institutions throughout New Zealand and Australia, a high proportion of
students now studying Japanese at Canterbury University are from Asian backgrounds, with
growing numbers from overseas. In response to this greater diversity, changes have been
made in teaching methods, class management and assessment, together with a strengthening
of student support structures at the program as well as university level.
A significant development for the Japanese program is the installation of two multimedia
language laboratories in the Modern Languages Building. This project, initiated jointly by the
language programs prior to their merger into one school, began in 2000 with the conversion of
one of the conventional language laboratories to a fully computerised laboratory. Initially, use
of the laboratory was limited to simple commercial software such as kanji-learning packages
for beginners. With the installation of a second multimedia laboratory in 2004, however, staff
in the Japanese program have been developing software tailored to course and student needs.
The launch of all core language acquisition courses on WebCT from May 2004 is aimed at
facilitating computer-assisted learning in the language laboratories as well as allowing student
access to learning materials outside class time. Satellite facilities on campus enable access to
Japanese television throughout the year. Keeping abreast with advances in technology and
maximising the benefits of those advances will continue to be a challenge for the program.

The research interests of staff in the Japanese program are wide-ranging. Expertise spans
literature, especially literary theory, the modern novel and traditional theatre; cross-cultural
psychology; feminism; history; sociology; geography; cultural and social anthropology; orality;
and mythology. Members of the program have been active in publishing research and
presenting it at conferences domestically and overseas. This has been despite the difficulties
in establishing a high research profile in the face of ever-increasing pressures from teaching

and administration, and in acquiring research-related materials or conducting fieldwork in
Japan owing to the high value of the yen. Encouragement from senior staff has also made it
possible for graduate students to start developing their own publishing profiles.
A research seminar series was instigated by the Department of Asian Studies in 1995.
The seminar series provides academic staff, postgraduate students and visiting scholars with
the opportunity to share their latest findings and also offers a forum for scholarly discussion.
It has helped to promote a richer and more vibrant research culture in the Japanese program.
The research culture in the program has been further enriched in recent years by the hosting
of a number of visiting scholars from Japan and elsewhere, including, in 2004, eminent scholars
Professor Susan Hanley (Washington University, former editor of the Journal of Japanese
Studies), a visiting Canterbury Scholar, and Professor Kozo Yamamura (Washington
University).
The program enjoys several alliances with organisations in Japan, including an
undergraduate exchange program with Bunkyo University (established in 1997) and an
exchange for academic staff and students with Waseda University (established in 2001).
Throughout the 1990s, the university had an agreement with Bunkyo University to each year
take several of their top teacher trainees for three weeks intensive training in language
acquisition. This agreement ceased in 2004 as a result of Bunkyos rescheduling their program.
Canterbury also hosts an annual visit from staff and students of Doshisha Womens College.
Future issues
The impact on the program of the new school and college structures at Canterbury University
is unknown, as the new structure is in its early stages and funding is still operating to some
extent according to budgets drawn up under the former system. However, Japanese at the
University of Canterbury has been historically underfunded. In the past, the shortfall in funding
and staffing was alleviated somewhat by generous support from the Japan Foundation, which
has on two occasions (199193 and 200103) assisted in the funding of a new lectureship in
Japanese and has provided ongoing support in the form of library materials and teaching
resources. More recently, a change to a more equitable funding formula based on equivalent
full-time students has helped ease the funding situation. Nevertheless, teaching and
administration loads in the Japanese program continue to be excessive. This is of even greater
concern given the introduction of performance-based research funding in New Zealand
universities. Under the new system securing sufficient funding to maintain the present program
and expanding to meet the growing demands of teaching and research will be of major
importance.
Funding issues aside, it is hoped that the merger into the School of Languages and
Cultures will result in, among other things, a higher profile within the university for all the
language and culture programs, not least Japanese; more opportunities for interdisciplinary
teaching and collaborative research across programs within the school; and a robust yet
flexible structure to support the program in an increasingly complex and challenging future.

CPIT was one of the pioneers in Japanese language education at the tertiary level in New
Zealand, developing its first program in the early 1980s to meet the demand of New Zealanders
who wanted to communicate with the burgeoning numbers of Japanese tourists. A one-year
certificate course focusing primarily on oral skills expanded to a two-year advanced certificate,
and in 1993 the institution received accreditation to run a comprehensive three-year Bachelor
of Japanese Language program. The program was designed with equal emphasis on all four
areas of language proficiency: speaking, listening, reading and writing, along with the study of
Japanese society and culture. Initially students were offered the opportunity to study the
complementary areas of tourism, marketing or language teaching alongside Japanese language,
but these options have since been expanded such that students can choose any area of
complementary study to complete their degree as long as it meets regulations. Students may
include papers from other degree programs offered on campus, or from accredited institutions
in New Zealand and overseas. In 2002 the title of the program was revised to Bachelor of
Arts (Japanese). The Japanese program comes under the School of Languages and
Communication in the Faculty of Humanities.
Programs offered
CPIT offers three pathways of study for full-time students wanting to learn Japanese, as well
as a range of part-time courses. The one-year Certificate in Japanese is designed for beginners
who wish to study full time. For those who have acquired skills in Japanese equivalent to
University Bursary level there is a choice of a one-year Diploma in Japanese or a three-year
Bachelor of Arts (Japanese). Compulsory units within the degree program include Japanese
language papers and papers relating to Japanese society, linguistics and research methods.
Language papers in the degree program have recently been divided into spoken Japanese
and written Japanese at each level. While in practice these skills are taught together, it has
proved more effective to assess them separately, as it gives students and staff a better
indication of students strengths and weaknesses. Translation and interpreting papers are
optional and separate from the core language papers. Approximately 30 per cent of the BA
program comprises optional papers, which may be chosen from those available on campus or
at other universities. Popular papers include those in the fields of tourism, teaching and
marketing.
Students
The numbers of students enrolling in stage one of the degree program have fluctuated over
the past six years. During this time there has been an increasing number of non-English-

speaking students enrolled in the program, in particular from Korea and Taiwan. This appears
to reflect trends in New Zealand high schools where many of those continuing study of
Japanese to year 13 are international students or from non-English-speaking backgrounds.
The proportion of local students enrolled in the program has remained high, at around 75 per
cent, compared to similar programs elsewhere in New Zealand. While the majority of students
are school leavers, CPIT also attracts mature students who have lived in Japan or have
completed studies in another Japan-related area. In addition, each year some graduates of
the beginner-level Certificate in Japanese proceed on to the Bachelor of Arts (Japanese).
Staff
The Japanese program has a dedicated team of three full-time tenured staff, two proportional
staff and one part-time staff member. At present, two staff are actively involved in research
while the remainder are engaged primarily in teaching and curriculum development. There
have been few staff changes in the past six years so most staff have a long association with
the program.
IT advances
Rapid advances in technology have impacted on the program in a number of ways. While all
core language papers are taught in a traditional classroom environment, extensive use is
made of audiovisual aids. Students are encouraged to make use of authentic Japanese material
from the Internet and live satellite television broadcasts. Optional papers in translation in
years two and three are taught online, as are courses on Japanese society and Japanese
history. The School of Languages and Communication is negotiating the purchase of a digital
language laboratory.
Curriculum
The Japanese program is revising the core language curriculum taught throughout the threeyear degree program and aligning it with levels of the Japanese Proficiency Test. The goal is
to achieve greater continuity throughout the program, while maintaining an emphasis on
communicative competence. In addition the degree program has optional courses that allow
students to select areas of focus, including translation, business, interpreting, tourism and
communication studies.
Student exchange programs

CPIT offers students the opportunity to study at three universities in Japan Kyoto Sangyo
University, Kansai Gaidai University and Osaka International University. Negotiations are
underway to establish a further year-long exchange program with Hiroshima Shudo University.
Students also have the opportunity to improve their Japanese skills by working during the
New Zealand summer break at a ski field in Nagano prefecture through an arrangement
organised by the school.
105
Research
Since the commencement of the program there has been a steady output of research-related
activity. Alastair McLauchlan has produced a range of published studies on the Buraku, an
area of specialisation for which he was awarded his doctorate in 2003. Mark Ealey has
produced a number of translations of Japanese literary and historical works. Currently, Alastair
McLauchlan is conducting a three-year longitudinal study into why year 11 pupils at Christchurch
secondary schools choose to study a foreign language, and why they continue or discontinue
those studies. This relates to research conducted jointly by staff (Carolyn Shaw and Yoshitaka
Sasai) from CPIT and AUT in 2000 which examined retention factors in New Zealand
secondary schools based on a sample of students in Christchurch and Auckland studying
Japanese at year 10.
Outlook
Japan remains one of New Zealands most significant trading partners and New Zealand is
still a popular destination for Japanese tourists. It is expected that there will be a continuing
demand for education in the field of Japanese studies, including Japanese language (especially
as the study of international languages becomes more institutionalised in the New Zealand
education system). As New Zealand society becomes increasingly globalised, education in
Japanese studies must meet the demands of a diverse range of learners. The challenge is to
meet these demands and develop appropriate areas of specialisation and pathways of learning
for students.

Massey University
Penelope Shino
The first university in New Zealand to teach Japanese, Massey is close to celebrating the
40th anniversary of the introduction of the degree program in 1965. In 1982 the MA was
introduced, while the first PhD student graduated in 1996.
Initially Japanese formed part of a Department of Modern Languages. A new Department
of East Asian Studies was formed in 1992, comprising Japanese and Chinese. Professor
Kiyoharu Ono was the inaugural chair and head of department. In 1998, as part of a universitywide restructuring, the Department of East Asian Studies was merged with other language
disciplines to create a School of Language Studies where Japanese is taught, with Chinese,
as the East Asian studies program.
Qualifications available from the Japanese program or with a Japanese endorsement
include the BA, BA (Hons), Certificate in Arts, Graduate Diploma in Arts, Postgraduate
Diploma in Arts, Postgraduate Diploma in the Teaching of Japanese as a Foreign Language,
MA, MPhil. and PhD.
Enrolment patterns
One of the strengths of Masseys Japanese program has been its commitment to the extramural
study of Japanese language and related subject areas built on the framework of its internal
courses. Massey has taught Japanese extramurally since 1971 and is the only university in
New Zealand to offer comprehensively courses in Japanese language and civilisation to
distance students.
In 2004 there were 334 enrolments in Japanese: 91 internal and 243 extramural. There
were 28 postgraduate enrolments, the majority extramural. The last few years have seen a
gradual decline in enrolments in Japanese, in contrast with the huge numbers in the 1980s
(enrolments in 1989, for example, numbered 750). The decrease in numbers has been
accompanied by a decrease in permanent teaching staff, with only four full-time staff. The
fourth member of staff will soon retire and that position will not be filled.
Factors behind the decline in enrolments are complex, but include changes to the degree
structure at Massey requiring students to take more papers for a degree, but with less time
available for each paper; an overall reduction in the popularity of foreign language studies at
high school; a perception that Japanese is particularly difficult; more New Zealand universities
providing Japanese programs; Japans economic downturn and increasing competition from
Chinese, linked with Chinas economic boom.
One unfortunate consequence of the decline in popularity of Japanese studies in New
Zealand has been the closure of the New Zealand Centre for Japanese Studies, established
in 1988 when Japanese studies was rapidly expanding. The centre operated separately from
the Japanese teaching program at Massey and generated fruitful cooperation.
107
The Sasakawa Fellowship Fund for Japanese Language Education continues to support
undergraduates, postgraduates and present and future teachers to pursue Japanese studies at
Massey and other New Zealand universities. In 1994 Massey won the bid to administer the
fund, an indication of the prominent role the university plays in the teaching of Japanese and
promotion of Japanese studies in New Zealand.
With most papers offered both internally and extramurally the Japanese program caters
to a diverse student population and 2004 has seen a marked increase in first-year enrolments,
both internal and extramural. Internal students are generally school leavers in their late teens
or early twenties, with international students of Chinese, Taiwanese or Korean background
now making up most of the both first- and second-year classes. Extramural students tend to
be older, already in full-time employment or even retired, and include students living in remote
parts of the country, overseas, and even in prison or on ships. Many extramural students are
resident in Japan. Typically they are studying on a part-time basis, but are committed to their
studies and often achieve higher results than their internal counterparts. Many of the
universitys extramural students have been high school teachers seeking to add another teaching
competency or upgrade their Japanese teaching skills. For this reason the relationship between
Japanese at Massey and the teaching profession has always been close and cooperative.
This special relationship was formally recognised in 1995, with the establishment of the
Postgraduate Diploma in Teaching Japanese as a Foreign Language, generously assisted by
the Japan Foundation. The diploma specifically responds to the needs of secondary school
teachers of Japanese, offering courses in such areas as teaching methodology and the use of
computer-aided learning in Japanese language teaching and acquisition. Massey University
is one of the few institutions in the world to offer such a program.
Teaching initiatives
A major teaching initiative was the establishment of a multimedia language facility in the
School of Language Studies in 1999, spearheaded by the Japanese program under Paul Knight.
Students now benefit from commercial software and software specifically designed to
accompany their Japanese textbooks. The course-specific software has also been uploaded
to the Japanese programs website making it accessible to extramural students. Interactive
online learning is becoming an increasingly important element of the Massey Japanese
experience and the launch of a number of courses on WebCT is being planned over the next
few years.
One priority of the Japanese program has been to maintain a balance between language
and civilisation courses to produce graduates with a well-rounded Japan literacy. To this
end, courses on Japanese society and culture, literature, history and, from 2005, cinema form
a vital part of the program. They also provide a springboard of specialisation for students
wanting to go on to postgraduate study.
The research areas of the Japanese program are both wide reaching and diverse, including
such areas as Japanese linguistics, the learning and teaching of Japanese as a foreign language,
computer-assisted language learning and multimedia materials production, medieval poetry
and culture, Japanese popular culture and Japanese cinema.
In order to promote a vital research culture, the East Asian studies program has run a
research seminar series annually for the last 10 years, providing both academics and
postgraduate students with a chance to present their latest research.

The Japanese program continues to enjoy exchanges with several Japanese universities,
namely Kumamoto University, Kyoto Sangyo University, Nagoya University of Foreign Studies,
Nihon University, Tezukayama Gakuin University and Tokyo Keizai University.
Major changes experienced by the Japanese program since 1997 have been the
reconfiguration of the former Department of East Asian Studies into a program within the
School of Language Studies; reduction in program scope to prune away all but the essential
papers; a gradual decline in internal student numbers; staff attrition; an altered student profile
to include a high proportion of international students; a marked change in student attitudes
where learning itself has become commoditised and subordinated to the ultimate goal, which
is the qualification, the job and a reasonable income. Positive changes have been in information
technology and the solutions IT provides to some of the communication issues in extramural
teaching.
Challenges
The greatest current challenge is maintaining the present programs with a small number of
staff. Some courses are the legacy of an era of high enrolments and staff numbers, and their
viability may need to be reviewed. Others, such as the Postgraduate Diploma in Teaching
Japanese as a Foreign Language, might be considered non-negotiable insofar as they respond
to the needs of the wider community. The program no longer has the luxury of being able to
offer students wishing to major in Japanese a choice of papers but is moving toward creating
a sustainable core of high-quality, essential and relevant papers. Part of the recipe for survival
is to embrace the new technologies and build up extramural numbers, which may become a
core activity if present internal trends continue.
One pedagogical challenge the Japanese program faces is how to compete with other
less time-consuming and labour-intensive subject areas. The program needs to check whether
it is trying to pack too much into its papers and whether the goal of Japanese competency at
the end of three years is unrealistic. The program needs to determine whether universities
and their typical Japanese degree structures will be able to compete with institutions where
intensive Japanese courses are taught.
While staff are attempting to cope with a heavy teaching workload, they are also facing
radical changes in the research-funding environment. A performance-based research fund
now operates and, by 2006, it will have replaced completely the present research funding
structure based on postgraduate enrolments. It is essential to produce regular, quality research
outputs to benefit from this altered environment and the challenge is in balancing a robust
teaching program that attracts viable student numbers with the imperative to produce quality
research. How this can be achieved is still being debated and may require greater availability
of relief teachers.
One lesson from the changes of the last decade are that the prosperity of Japanese
studies should never be taken for granted and that, as an international language, the program
is particularly vulnerable to external forces beyond its control such as the Japanese recession
or the outbreak of SARS. Flexibility and adaptability will be the key to the programs future.

The University of Otago

Roy Starrs
The Japanese studies program was founded at Otago in 1993 and, although still comparatively
new, is now a fully fledged, well-recognised and well-established program that in student
numbers is second only to Spanish among the six modern languages taught at the university.
In the quality and quantity of its research output, it is one of the leading programs in Otagos
Humanities Division, despite its relatively small size.
The Japanese program offers a full range of courses in Japanese language, literature,
film, society and culture, leading either to a BA or to an Honours BA in Japanese. Honours
BA graduates may then proceed to take an MA or a PhD degree in Japanese by writing a
thesis. Topics to date have been extremely diverse, ranging from medieval Japanese literature
to anti-burakumin prejudice to Japanese tourism in New Zealand.
The Japanese program strives for a balance between language acquisition, literature
and sociocultural studies. Language teaching uses a communicative approach supported by
computer-based programs, readings and films. The principal introductory and intermediate
language texts recently adopted are Nakama 1 and 2, developed by Yukiko and Kazumi
Hatasa and Seiichi Makino at Iowa, Purdue and Princeton Universities. One significant mark
of the success of the Otago program is the high number of Monbusho (Japanese Ministry of
Education) scholarships awarded to students in recent years.
There has been a steady rise in student numbers, with numbers rising by about 30 per
cent since 1997; it is also notable that there are now MA and PhD students, as advanced
degrees were not previously offered. Last year the Japanese program underwent a major
restructuring to offer a greater variety of courses in Japanese culture, society, literature and
film (as well as language), and also to accommodate a new four-year honours BA. The four
new culture courses are: Issues in Japanese Culture Today, Modern Japanese Fiction, Modern
Japanese Film and Understanding Japanese Culture. A new language course, Business and
Professional Japanese, was added at the intermediate level.
Japanese majors may also take Japan-related courses in other departments, such as
history, politics, religious studies and management. To coordinate Asia-related teaching across
departments, the university has established an Asian Board, which is housed in the Japanese
program. The Asian Board is in charge of an interdisciplinary major in Asian studies and two
Asian studies courses Introducing Asia and Issues in Asian Studies both of which include
significant Japanese content.
As part of the new honours BA program, students are required to spend at least six
months studying in Japan. Exchange programs have been established with a number of Japanese
universities, including Tokyo, Yokohama, Ochanomizu, Rissho and Hirosaki. This is an area
to be further developed as the number of honours students grows.

Since 1997 the Otago Japanese program has hosted two major international conferences
that have resulted in significant publications. The 1999 NZASIA Conference produced two
books edited by Roy Starrs, Nations Under Siege: Globalization and Nationalism in Asia
(Palgrave/Macmillan, New York, 2002) and Asian Nationalism in an Age of Globalization
(Routledge/Curzon, London, 2001). A further book edited by Roy Starrs resulted from the
2002 Otago Conference on Japanese Cultural Nationalism: Japanese Cultural Nationalism:
At Home and in the Asia Pacific (Global Oriental, Folkestone, UK, 2004). Both conferences
received generous support from the Japan Foundation.
In addition to an Asian Board, Otago has also recently established an Asian Research
Centre to help coordinate the research of Otago academics and their international research
collaborators. As a major contributor to Asian studies research, the Japanese program will
play an active role in the future development of this centre, and in further expanding research
ties between Otagos Japan and Asia specialists and their national and international colleagues.

Yushi Ito and Andrew Barke
In the 1960s a Study of Japan course was offered by the Asian Studies Centre at Victoria
University of Wellington. The centre was abolished in the early 1970s and a new course,
Modern Japan, was introduced in 1979 and taught in the Department of Sociology. In 1980
the Ambassador to New Zealand, His Excellency Mr Takashi Oyamada, established a prize
to mark the introduction of the course on Modern Japan, which is now taught in the Japanese
program.
In 1989 Japanese language courses and the Diploma in Japanese Studies were introduced
with Japan Foundation support and expanded into a three-year program by 1993. Honours
courses in Japanese started in 1995 and the Japanese program has produced many outstanding
students and graduates, including a PhD graduate. While the Diploma in Japanese Studies
was suspended in 1993, the Faculty of Arts established a committee to develop the Study of
Asia course and inject Asian content into the teaching curriculum of all departments at Victoria.
A major in Asian studies was offered for the first time in 1996.
The Department of Asian Languages merged with the Department of European
Languages in 2001 within the newly formed School of Asian and European Languages and
Cultures. The Japanese program and the Asian Studies Institute both belong to this school.The
Asian studies program is an interdisciplinary program coordinated by the director of the
Asian Studies Institute within the School of Asian and European Languages and Cultures.
The schools role is to coordinate the teaching of Asian and European languages and cultures,
leaving each program within the school responsible for teaching its own courses. The programs
are Asian studies, Chinese, French, German, Italian and Spanish, Japanese and Malay studies.
Besides the School of Asian and European Languages and Cultures, other schools
offer courses related to Japan and Asia. The history program offers a course on the history
of Asian countries including India, China, Japan and Southeast Asia in the age of European
expansion. The political science and international relations program offers a course on the
institutional and cultural dynamics of the development of Asian countries including Japan,
China, Korea, Taiwan and Singapore. The religious studies program offers a course on
contemporary religions in the cultural regions of India, China, Tibet and Japan. The School of
Economics and Finance offers a course on the economic transformation of the Asian economies
between 1945 and 2000. Some members of staff at Victoria University of Wellington are
trying to set up joint projects with colleagues in Japan.

students are from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, but some are from the
Faculties of Architecture and Design, Commerce and Administration, Law, and Science.
The Japanese program at Victoria adopts both traditional and modern approaches to
language teaching, but modifies them so that they meet the current needs of students and
raise the level of their language proficiency. The language program maintains various aspects
of traditional approaches to language teaching the grammar translation approach and the
audiolingual approach. At the same time, the program is aware of the modern post-audiolingual
communicative approach to language teaching. The program focuses on both spoken and
written language.
In the language program, students can acquire a proficiency in spoken Japanese through
various classroom activities such as role play, drama, speech and discussion. Films and videos
are also used for teaching material on the Japanese way of life and communication. When
surveyed, it was found that students regarded some films and videos as excellent material.
Every year the program has teaching assistants for eight months from universities in
Japan who are majoring in Japanese language teaching. The assistants are very effective in
teaching the students communicative skills, inside and outside of the classroom. The students
evaluation of one of the Japanese language courses shows that many refer to the contribution
of teaching assistants.
Besides classroom teaching, the recent approach to language teaching emphasises
learning in external settings, and the program believes that self-learning outside the classroom
is indispensable to the success of language learning. Activities outside the classroom are not
part of the language program, but students are encouraged to make the best use of them. The
Language Learning Centre at Victoria now has facilities for students to watch satellite television
programs including Japans NHK, which gives opportunities to receive up-to-date information
about Japan and its language. Casual conversation practice with teaching assistants outside
the classroom also provides similar benefits.
Learning spoken language only, however, has its limitations. Without reading and studying
various materials related to language, literature, history, culture and society, students might
not be able to understand what the Japanese people talk and write about if the topic is beyond
everyday life. For this reason, students should have a general knowledge of the literature,
history, culture and society of the country, and this knowledge can be obtained through the
course on Modern Japan, which is conducted in English. More advanced language students
study about Japan in the Japanese language to become familiar with various vocabularies
commonly used by the Japanese native speakers. Courses such as Readings in Japanese
Culture and Society, Japanese Intellectual History and Modern Japanese Literature cover
this aspect of study. Students taking these courses also build up firm foundations for further
postgraduate studies.
Honours courses
The BA Honours program gives students an opportunity to improve language proficiency at
a higher level and gain specialist knowledge in selected fields, including aspects of Japanese
language, literature, culture, society and intellectual history. Courses offered include Advanced
Japanese Language, Modern Japanese Literature, Japanese Intellectual History, Contemporary
Japanese Literature, Culture and Japanese Language, and a research essay.
113
Postgraduate study
The Japanese program has produced a PhD graduate in the field of Japanese intellectual
history and has one PhD candidate who is working on Japanese business thought. In 2003 the
Japanese program started to offer intensive Japanese language courses designed for diplomats
in the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
Exchange programs
Victoria University has established one-year student exchange programs with Meiji Gakuin
University, Osaka University of Foreign Studies, Ritsumeikan University and Gakushuin
University. With the help of the international office, these exchange programs have been
working very well in the last few years, although a limit on the number of positions means that
not all students who wish to participate in exchange programs are able to do so. These
exchange programs have raised the level of the language program, and provided countless
other benefits to participants.
Advances in information technology

The courses Introduction to the Japanese Language and Elementary Japanese are available
to students on Blackboard, the universitys online teaching and learning tool. Students enrolled
in these courses are able to access information such as assessment details, the course schedule
and class announcements. Students anywhere on campus can also access audio recordings
that accompany the dialogues and exercises found in their textbooks. In addition to the use of
Blackboard, PowerPoint presentations are used in the above two courses to introduce new
grammar, kanji and cultural information.
Changes, issues and challenges

Since 1989 the number of staff in the Japanese program has gradually increased. In 2004
there were two senior lecturers, two lecturers, six part-time tutors, four honours students,
one PhD student and 280 undergraduate students in the Japanese program. The number of
overseas students has increased recently.
Despite the increase in student numbers over the past 10 years, few students are interested
in postgraduate study, preferring to work in Japan after graduation. The program seeks to
attract more students to do honours degrees.
Any language, including Japanese, is difficult and painstaking to master, but learning a
foreign language can be a fascinating experience and helps the students understand a different
language and culture. The Japanese programs goal is to make the language program an
enjoyable and interesting one, where both students and teachers work to their full potential.
This is a daunting task, but certainly worth the challenge.

the Faculty of Asian Studies. Students are able to take language courses from beginner to
advanced standard, allowing entry with varying levels of previous study. The Japan Centre
and the Asian History Centre (Faculty of Asian Studies) also offer courses in Japanese
linguistics, literature, history, economics and law. Japan-related courses can be also undertaken
in the Faculty of Law and in the Faculty of Economics and Commerce. The general Bachelor
of Asian Studies is a three-year degree while the specialist Bachelor of Asian Studies
(Japanese) involves one year of study at a Japanese university for qualifying students. Several
other degree programs permit students to take Japanese language and Japan-related courses.

The Japan Centre
After studying Japanese for at least two years (three years for combined degree students) at
the ANU, students spend one year at a university in Japan with which the ANU has an
exchange agreement. The course counts toward a Bachelor of Asian Studies (Specialist)
degree.

Students in the Faculty of Economics and Commerce can participate in the Experience in
Asia Project. This course provides students with a first-hand introduction to aspects of the
business environment and business organisation in Southeast or East Asia. It exposes students
directly to different business issues in several Asian countries through intensive teaching at
Asian academic institutions and visits to companies, business organisations and public
institutions conducive to business. The first-hand impressions allow students to appreciate
the interplay of the business environment and company management and organisation in
Asian countries. In addition to in-country lectures, students are expected to research a chosen
topic in consultation with the course coordinator.

The Japan Centre conducts occasional lectures for the public and produces an annual kabuki
performance.
The AustraliaJapan Research Centre holds public seminars approximately six times a
year, as well as an annual Japan update event for policymakers, politicians, public servants,
academics and members of the public.

RESEARCH PROGRAMS
Since its establishment in 1994, the MJS Centre has been adapting and developing online
facilities to enhance the quality of distance studies in Japanese language. By far the largest
project in recent years has been the creation of Gengoro. The Japanese studies section had
previously developed Kantaro, a kanji-learning CD-Rom, with technical support from Fujitsu
Australia. Building on this experience, in 1994 the MJS Centre began to develop Gengoro,
a multimedia package for online teaching. Since 2000 first-year Japanese language students
have been able to study online using the Gengoro CD-Rom, the Kantaro CD-Rom and Internet
support. The centre is developing online speaking facilities to complement the online language
programs. This involves an application of Internet-based audio conferencing tools. M.H.
Chow is the project leader and Helen Muir is the principal researcher in the Gengoro project.
Kayo Nakazawa is responsible for developing the speaking facilities.
Professor Michio Yamaoka at the Graduate School of Asia-Pacific Studies at Waseda
University has joined the centre for a project on Regional Cooperation in the Asia Pacific.
Research is being undertaken into regional cooperation between nations in the Asia Pacific,
in terms of overseas aid and other economic activities.
LIBRARY FACILITIES
Macquarie Universitys library maintains 569,236 books and 24,233 journals, including 2,226
books and 32 journals written in Japanese, specialising in history, language, linguistics and
literature. The Japanese studies section of the Department of Asian Languages maintains a
collection of approximately 6,000 books and 20 journal titles that are specifically Japan
oriented.
EXCHANGE PROGRAMS
The Japanese studies section of the Department of Asian Languages offers students and
academic staff the opportunity to participate in exchange programs with 12 universities in
Japan. The exchanges are for either one year or six months, at undergraduate, honours and/
or postgraduate levels, and are with Waseda University, Tokyo Metropolitan University,
Ritsumeikan University, Sophia University, Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University, Yokohama
National University, Nihon University, Gunma University, Nanzan University, Nagoya Gakuin
University, Kansai Gaidai University and St. Andrews University.
The Centre for Japanese Economic Studies offers students the opportunity to participate
in a six-month exchange with the Business Department of the Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific
University.

Some undergraduate units can be taken in Japan. For example, students can take a two-week
intensive language and culture unit at a university in Japan while staying with a Japanese

family. Students can also participate in the two-week Urayasu homestay program. At
postgraduate level, three programs are offered for professional training. The Graduate
Certificate in Japanese Corporate Training is a unique program that allows graduates to
work for 12 months as a trainee in a major Japanese corporation or in the municipal
government of Fukushima prefecture. The Graduate Diploma in Japanese and Graduate
Certificate in Introductory Japanese Teaching programs are offered for teachers and
prospective teachers of Japanese language.

The Japanese studies section and the MJS Centre jointly conduct annual workshops for
teachers. The Japanese studies section also participates in the universitys open days and
advising days. The MJS Centre periodically invites Japan specialists from Australia and
overseas to conduct lectures. The Centre for Japanese Economic Studies conducts public
activities such as conferences, luncheons and seminars.

RESEARCH PROGRAMS
Staff of the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics are involved in several research
projects related to Japan. Associate Professor Hugh de Ferranti is researching wadaiko music
in its Australian setting, producing a CD of archive recordings of Yamashika Yoshiyuki (a
blind biwa player regarded as the last of his kind) and writing Tales of a Biwa-hiki, a life
history and interpretative commentary on media and scholar representations of Yamashika.
Therese Burtons project on School Songs and Japanese Identity investigates primary school
songs in Japan and the role they play in the formation and expression of national identity. Dr
Van Aacken is conducting an Analysis of Kanji Learning, examining how learners
proceduralise kanji knowledge with reference to a skill-learning model and exploring the
types and use of kanji-learning strategies.
Professor Maki Ohshima from the International Student Centre at Kagoshima University
is joining Dr Sato Van Aacken in the development of a textbook on Japanese culture. It is an
analysis of the approaches non-native learners of Japanese in different learning environments
take in teaching and learning about Japanese culture.

LIBRARY FACILITIES
The main campus library, the Dixson Library, maintains a collection of 655,890 books and
38,472 journals (of which 4,357 are in print and the remainder are electronic). Japan-related
materials in English total 2,856 books and 155 journals. There are also between 60 and 80
books and around 10 journals in Japanese. The School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics
has an Asian reading room with 100 books and 10 journals related to Japan.
EXCHANGE PROGRAMS
The School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics has established exchange programs with
Hiroshima University, Daito Bunka University, Nagoya Gakuin University and Kagoshima
University. Students are able to study for either six or twelve months in each case. A new
agreement with Kobe University should be in place in 2004.

The School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics conducts six-month in-country language
courses. Students undertake one or two semesters of full-time study in a Japanese university
agreed to by the head of the school. The units taken are of a number appropriate to the award
of 24 UNE credit points. Students should already have completed at least two years of language
study at university level.
In the New England Business School, Business Negotiation with China and Japan is
taught by a Sydney-based businessman. The approach is practical, examining Chinese and
Japanese styles of business and trade negotiation through case studies and the experiences
of the students.

The Department of Japanese and Korean Studies provides Japanese language and culture
courses and plays an integral part in Japanese studies education at the University of New
South Wales. Japanese at UNSW is characterised by flexible and interdisciplinary degree
structures that offer all types of students the opportunity to study languages and related
studies. Undergraduate students may incorporate Japanese studies into their programs in a
variety of ways.
Following the view that language learning is incomplete without sociocultural
knowledge, students are strongly recommended to take Japanese studies courses as well as
language classes. Students majoring in (Advanced) Japanese Studies are required to take at
least one such course, Introduction to Japanese Studies. Other courses include Talking
Japanese Pop Culture; Cultural Studies in Japan; Japan and Korea: Cultures in Conflict;
Ancient to Modern Japan: Age of the Sword; Modern Japan: Political Culture, Popular Culture
(offered by the School of History); and Japanese Film (offered by School of Theatre, Film
and Dance). Students are also encouraged to enhance their language and linguistic skills and
knowledge by taking such courses as Japanese Grammar, Japanese Literature and Language,
and Business Japanese. The major sequence also recognises those students who are more
interested and/or adept in Japanese studies than the language. They complete a minimum
level of language study and devote their time to studying about Japan. Students who are not
majoring in Japanese studies also have opportunities to engage in study about Japan by
taking courses such as Introduction to 20C Japanese Architecture offered by the Faculty of
Built Environment, and by taking Asia-related courses such as Australia and Asia Pacific
Economies offered by the School of Economics. UNSW also offers postgraduate programs
in Japanese language and studies. For example, the Faculty of Law offers eight
interdisciplinary courses on Japanese law as part of its Asian and comparative law stream in
the Master of Laws (LLM) program.

RESEARCH PROGRAMS
Associate Professor Chihiro Kinoshita Thomson and Ms Sumiko Iida are involved in a
research project on Gender and Japanese Language, which examines the implications of
gendered language in teaching and learning of Japanese as a foreign language. Ms Nagisa
Fukui and Dr Kazuhiko Teruya are using written and spoken texts to explore the Japanese
language system, in a project entitled a Description of Japanese using Systemic Functional
Grammar. Dr Julia Yonetani is studying KoreanOkinawan relations during and directly
after World War II, in a project on Post-Colonisation in East Asia, undertaken with Kang
Mungkoo of Seoul University.
Staff in the department are also involved in several collaborative research projects
with institutions in Japan. Dr William Armour is involved in a project with Dr Reiko Furuya
from Nagoya University on Cross-Cultural Adaptation in Japan. The study focuses on how
certain processes impact on the cross-cultural adaptation of six white English-speaking persons
sojourning in Japan. Dr Satoko Tokumaru of Nihon Taiiku University is collaborating with
Dr Ikuko Nakane in a project on Internet-Mediated Essay Writing, which examines Australian
students learning and negotiation processes of Japanese essay writing. The course is posted
on an Internet site and is tutored by Japanese university students via email. Dr Yonetani has
joined coordinators Kang San-jung and Atsushi Sugita (Tokyo and Hosei Universities) in a
project on National Security, Media and the Promotion of Rights in Asia. The project is
funded by the Toyota Foundation and the leading coordinator is Professor Tessa MorrisSuzuki of The Australian National University. The project is a study of the way in which
new information and surveillance technologies are altering the relationship between state,
media and society, with particular focus on minority groups in Asia.
The Faculty of Law

The School of Law
Leon Wolff is researching the intersections between private governance and public rights in
Japanese law. In 2003 he worked on an ARC-funded project on the privatisation of Japanese
151
social justice rights. He also published work on the implications of administrative law reforms
on Japanese women and the future of human rights regulation in Japan.

Dr Hodaka Morita is involved in several Japan-related research projects. In 2003 he undertook
a comparative institutional analysis of Japanese business and government. Earlier projects
included Information Technology and Japanese Keiretsu, which investigated the impacts of
the information technology revolution on Japanese manufacturersupplier relationships, as
well as Partial Ownership and Japanese Keiretsu, a project examining a new perspective on
vertical relationships between manufacturers and suppliers.
LIBRARY FACILITIES
The University of New South Wales library holds almost 1.4 million books, 8,600 journals
in print and 21,900 journals accessible electronically. Approximately 8,000 books in English
are related to Japan, as well as 500 journals. The library also has in its collection 700 books
and 80 journals written in Japanese. Areas of specialisation related to Japan are economics,
history and political science. The Department of Japanese and Korean Studies maintains a
small library specialising in Japan studies and Japanese language. It contains approximately
500 books and 50 journals.
EXCHANGE PROGRAMS
The Department of Japanese and Korean Studies offers students the opportunity to participate
in six- or twelve-month exchanges with Doshisha University, Gakushuin University, Kansai
Gaidai, Keio University, Kwansei Gakuin University, Kyoto University, Nagoya City
University, Tohoku University and Waseda University.

The Department of Japanese and Korean Studies holds an annual symposium for students of
Japanese and members of the Japanese diplomatic and business community in Sydney. It
also hosts many classroom-based events for students and local Japanese residents. Public
lectures in Japan-related fields are also held periodically.

The Department of Japanese and Korean Studies at the University of Sydney offers a wide
range of undergraduate courses at pass and honours level, as well as postgraduate training by
coursework or research. Degree programs include the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Arts
(Asian Studies), MA in Japanese Studies, MA in Applied Japanese for Business Purposes,
MPhil. and PhD. In 2000 the Faculty of Arts introduced a new four-year specialist degree,
the BA (Languages), which includes a mandatory period (minimum one semester, maximum
one year) of in-country language study. While the majority of students in the BA (Languages)
study the major European languages, a number of students in the degree program have studied
in Japan each year. It is possible for students in all the degree programs to transfer credit
gained from study in Japan to their University of Sydney degrees. The University of Sydney
has formal exchange agreements with 13 Japanese universities, and students are encouraged
to include a period in Japan in their Japanese majors.
The Department of Japanese and Korean Studies also contributes units taught in English
to the Asian studies program in the School of Languages and Cultures, teaches in the new
major in international and comparative literary studies, and cross-lists units of study for the
Department of Linguistics program leading toward an MA in Applied Linguistics.
The Japanese language-based courses of the Department of Japanese and Korean Studies
are intended to give students a well-rounded understanding of Japan and include options in
the broadly defined areas of history, language, linguistics, literature, society and business, in
addition to core language courses. The aim of the courses is for students to achieve an
understanding of Japan through the language and to acquire the intellectual skills needed to
communicate that understanding in a critical way. In the process of achieving those goals,
students completing an undergraduate degree in Japanese studies will acquire basic
communication skills in speaking, listening and writing Japanese; a solid foundation in reading
Japanese; familiarity with Japanese socio-cultural patterns; the ability to access relevant
materials for ongoing, independent learning; and skills identified by the University of Sydney
as desirable generic attributes of its graduates.
Students interested in learning about Japan through English may do so through Japanrelated courses in the subject of Asian studies. Some of these courses are taught by Japanese
studies specialists in departments and faculties outside the school.

RESEARCH PROGRAMS
Staff of the Department of Japanese and Korean Studies are actively involved in several
Japan-related research projects. For example, Associate Professor Elise Tipton is conducting
a project on the Social History of Interwar Japan, a multidisciplinary approach to broad
issues of society and state in interwar Japan, including modernity, media, womens issues,
social reform, welfare legislation and political control. Professor Hugh Clarke is undertaking
an annotated English translation and analysis of the Omorososhi, the 22-volume, 16th-century
ritual song text which legitimated the authority of the Ryukyuan kings. Dr Olivier Ansart is
157
analysing Tokugawa political thought with particular emphasis on neo-Confucianism and

the contribution of Ogyu Sorai.
Staff of the department are also involved in a joint project with Professor Shuzen Hokama
of the Okinawan Studies Research Institute in Tokyo. The project is a comparative study of
the modern Okinawan dialects and written records in old Ryukyuan dating back to the 14th
century.
LIBRARY FACILITIES
The main library at the University of Sydney, the Fisher Library, maintains a collection of
some five million books and 32,000 journals. This includes a substantial collection of
historical, literary and linguistic material related to Japan, with approximately 18,000 books
and 20 journals written in Japanese. The Department of Japanese and Korean Studies
maintains a small collection of 500 books and eight journals related to Japanese studies.
EXCHANGE PROGRAMS
The University of Sydney has six- or twelve-month student exchange programs with Hosei,
Waseda, Tokyo, Chiba, Ryukyus, Kwansei Gakuin, Doshisha, Tohoku, Kyoto, Aoyama Gakuin
and Nagoya Universities. Staff also have the opportunity to participate in exchanges with
Waseda and Hosei Universities.

The Department of Japanese and Korean Studies conducts the JETRO Business Japanese

Through its Institute for International Studies (IIS) and Faculty of Education, the University
of Technology, Sydney offers a range of Japan studies courses, Japanese language and culture
programs and education programs for teachers of Japanese. Japanese language classes and a
subject about contemporary Japanese society (taught in English) may be taken as elective
subjects by students throughout the university. Combined degrees in international studies
with a Japan major are offered for undergraduates by IIS and the other faculties. The Japan
major can be undertaken with a range of specialisations including business studies,
engineering, design, computer science, teacher education and law. The undergraduate
combined degree with a Japan major is unique in Australia in that all students undertake a
year of study as an exchange student in Japan. This means that UTS has active exchange
relationships with more than a dozen universities throughout Japan. Graduates from this
program thus have:
a professional degree;
a minimum of one years experience living in Japan;
knowledge of and critical analytical skills regarding contemporary Japanese
society; and
basic communication skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing Japanese.
The IIS has three staff members engaged in teaching and research about Japanese society
in areas such as linguistics, history, sociology, womens studies, anthropology and business
studies. The IIS offers postgraduate programs in Japan studies through the Master of Arts in
International Studies (coursework or research) and the PhD program.

Japanese studies at the University of Western Sydney is offered through the School of
Humanities (which has two Japan specialists) and the School of Languages and Linguistics
(which has four language lecturers). Two Japan specialists are also located in the Centre for
Cultural Research. Moreover, there are several Japan specialists in the research areas of fine
arts, performance and aquaculture.
Despite a national decline in Japanese programs and in student and staff numbers,
UWS has managed to maintain strong student numbers and has lost only one language
lecturers position since 1997. In 2003, 617 students took Japanese language and/or Japanese
studies units. A notable trend has been the increased interest in area studies. Modern Japanese
history, for example, had 135 enrolled students when it was offered in the first semester of
2003.

The School of Humanities offers four levels of Japanese language learning introductory,
intermediate, advanced and honours at the Rockhampton, Mackay, Brisbane, Sydney and
Melbourne campuses. The courses focus on speaking, listening, reading and writing skills,
with the aim of taking students who are beginning their learning right through to an advanced
stage. Cultural awareness goes hand in hand with these courses.
The Bachelor of Learning Management (Japanese) in the School of Education and
Innovation is targeted to students who wish to become primary or secondary school teachers.
The program develops Japanese language skills, understanding of second-language teaching
methodology and cultural understanding through in-country experience. As well as studying
Japanese language, students also participate in tutorials for education courses where Japanese
is the language of communication. Students undertake teaching practicums in Australia and
Japan throughout the program, ending with a 10-week practicum and internship.

(Sendai) and Aichi Shukutoko (Nagoya), and a 9- to 12-month exchange program with Meikai
University (Urayasu).

The Japanese language education program established the Japan In-country Practicum in
1994. The course runs for three months and is designed for undergraduate students. The
students participate in homestays in Japan, undertake study at a Japanese university, and
participate in practicum placements in elementary schools. Undergraduate students in the
Japanese language education program can also participate in an 11-month internship at an
English immersion school, working in partnership with Japanese teachers and living in the
local community.

The Japanese language education program holds an annual Japanese speech festival for
secondary school students, as well as an ad hoc Saturday morning Japanese school for all
ages in the local community. It also participates in various cultural events for Japan Society
members and the local community, such as the CQU multicultural day.

Japanese language courses at Griffith University range from the very basics up to and including
honours and MA coursework level, where topics and materials may be individually tailored
to meet advanced students needs. All Japanese language courses, and the majority of Japanrelated courses, are taught within the School of Languages and Linguistics. A few Japanrelated courses are taught in the School of International Business and Asian Studies. On the
Gold Coast campus, a specialist degree with a sole focus on Japan, the Bachelor of Arts in
Japanese, offers students a full array of Japanese language courses and six courses of Japanrelated studies. Students may also take one of two double degrees, the Bachelor of Business/
Bachelor of Arts in Japanese or the Bachelor of Hotel Management/Bachelor of Arts in
Japanese, which combine expertise on Japan with skills in business and tourism/hospitality.
On the Nathan campus, Japanese language from basic to advanced level can be taken as part
of the Bachelor of Arts in Languages and Applied Linguistics or the double degree, the
Bachelor of Arts in Languages and Linguistics/Bachelor of Education (Secondary). These
degrees offer knowledge of Japanese language, studies and linguistics, with the double degree
intended to train students to become secondary LOTE teachers. Research on Japan is
conducted on history, thought, society and Japanese linguistics in various parts of the
university.

Substantial shifts have occurred in teaching about Japan at the University of Queensland
since 1997, following the retirement of certain staff members, decisions in some areas to
change direction and organisational changes in the university itself. The School of Law has
dropped its courses on Japanese law; Japan now forms a one-week component in a course on
Asian law. The retirement of the staff member in charge of Japanese history courses in the
former History Department means that those courses have not been offered for some time,
although there are plans to offer them again in 2005. The School of Political Science and
International Studies no longer offers a course on the government of Japan, as it no longer
teaches comparative government; Japan instead forms a component of courses on East Asia.
The major locus of teaching and research about Japan within the university is now the Japanese
program within the School of Languages and Comparative Cultural Studies. In other words,
there has been a retreat from focused studies of Japan in discipline-based schools.
With the demise of the Department of Asian Languages and Studies in late 2003, the
Japanese program became one of 10 programs within the School of Languages and
Comparative Cultural Studies. This organisational restructuring, common to many Australian
universities in the last few years, has not affected the strength and breadth of the program.
Student numbers have fallen since 1997, but the Japanese program remains by far the largest
program within the school in terms of student and staff numbers and also its contribution to
internationalisation through the large numbers of international students undertaking its
courses. Staff numbers remain constant; replacements for departing staff members have either
been made or are in the process of being made. Enrolments in double majors from students
doing a BA or a double degree (e.g., Engineering/Arts, Arts/Law) remain strong; Japanese
also remains a favoured elective for students whose single degree (e.g. BCom.) permits it.
The student body includes a large number of international students from Asian countries, in
particular Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore.

RESEARCH PROGRAMS
Staff of the School of Languages and Comparative Cultural Studies are involved in a wide
range of research projects. For example, Associate Professor Nanette Gottlieb is conducting
a project on Discriminatory Language in Japan, examining the effects of community protest
on the use of such language in Japan. Dr Tomoko Aoyama is involved in a project entitled
Reading Food in Modern Japanese Literature. The project provides both diachronic and
synchronic analyses of writing about food, eating and cooking in 20th-century Japanese
literature and the various complex relations these imply. Ms Enju Norris is investigating
Reading/Behaviour Strategies of Japanese Texts by Chinese- and English-Background
Learners of Japanese, identifying and analysing comprehension and the reasons behind reading
strategies, using two orthographically different passages by two separate groups of learners.
Professor Maki Shimada, from the International Student Centre at Kagoshima University,
and Professor Akira Kudo, from the Institute of Social Science at the University of Tokyo,
187
are involved in joint research projects with the school. Professor Shimada is participating in
a project on Materials Development for Teaching Japanese. This project is developing teaching
material to foster cultural understanding in Japanese language classes and is linked to the
research of Dr Yuriko Nagata from the University of Queensland. Professor Kudo (along
with Takeo Kikkawa and Glenn Hook) will edit a book entitled Contemporary Japanese
Enterprise (to be published by Yuhikaku, Tokyo), to which Dr Morris Low from the University
of Queensland will contribute a chapter.
LIBRARY FACILITIES

Japanese is one of three languages offered in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the
University of the Sunshine Coast. The language has been offered since 1997 and became an
integral part of the universitys offerings when full university status was obtained in 1999.
The appointment of a lecturer in Japanese studies and international relations in 2004 further
consolidated the language courses and introduced a range of complementary non-language
courses and course components focusing on Japan.
A key feature of the Japanese program is the availability of exchange scholarship
programs with several Japanese colleges and universities (five at December 2003), which
enable students to undertake up to one year of undergraduate study in Japan for credit to
their degree. The expansion of this program is a high priority in the faculty. On campus, the
faculty encourages language exchange classes with Japanese students studying at the
universitys English Language Centre. Academic staff have ongoing relationships with a
number of Japanese universities; the senior lecturer in Australian studies, Dr Joanne Scott,
held the AustraliaJapan Foundation/University of Tokyo professorship in Australian studies
in 2002.
Students undertaking Japanese language courses are enrolled across a range of disciplines
including increasing numbers of students from the Science and Business Faculties. This
broad disciplinary interest is reflected in individual course offerings where a number of staff
in history, social sciences and community studies include components on Japan within their
courses. More advanced language subjects are also being developed to incorporate the breadth
of students disciplinary interests.

Monash provides a large and diverse range of subjects catering both to academic and
vocational needs. A number of academic staff members deal with selected aspects of Japan
throughout the university, but the teaching of Japanese language and Japanese studies is
concentrated in the Japanese program in the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics.
Its programs are delivered primarily through the on-campus mode, although some off-campus
teaching and supervision does occur. The in-Japan mode allows students to study in Japan at
one of 11 exchange universities, to take intensive Japanese through its summer program run
at the Ishikawa Prefectural International Exchange Centre in Kanazawa, and to engage in
independent research for higher degrees. Monash offers an extensive range of postgraduate
qualifications, including programs in Japanese language, applied Japanese linguistics,
interpreting and translation. Postgraduate research students are active in a variety of fields.
The Japanese program is especially known for its research in applied linguistics, social
organisation, culture and various aspects of AustraliaJapan relations.

Staff are engaged in several Japan-related research projects. Associate Professor Alison
Tokita is coordinating a project on AustraliaJapan Relations. The project covers history,
economics, politics, marriage, culture and language, and is contributed to by researchers
across Australia and occasionally from Japan. Five symposia, three monographs and numerous
articles have resulted from this project. Associate Professor Tokita is also engaged in a project
on Japanese Popular Culture. Using the site of the manga library as a space where Japanese
popular culture is consumed, the project is studying the reception of Japanese popular culture
in Australia, and its relevance to Japanese language education. Associate Professor Jim Breen
is undertaking a project on the Internet in Asia. This group is part of the Research Unit on
Cultures and Technologies in Asia and has produced papers on the development of the Internet
in Japan, Japanese Internet cafes, e-government in Japan, hacking legislation in Australia
and Japan, as well as several papers on the Internet in other Asian countries.
The Melbourne Centre for Japanese Language Education (MCJLE)

The Melbourne Centre for Japanese Language Education was established with an endowment
from the Nippon Foundation and provides professional development, support, advice and
resources to teachers of Japanese in Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania. In addition to
seminars held throughout the year, the MCJLE holds several seminar series targeting groups
of teachers. Native speaker teachers, first-year-out teachers and Diploma of Education students
are three groups regularly catered for. The MCJLE works closely with Japanese language
teacher associations and institutions providing support to teachers. With generous donations
225
from the Japan Foundation and other donors, the MCJLE is able to maintain a resource
collection within the Asian studies collection of the Monash University library (on the Clayton
campus).
LIBRARY FACILITIES
The main library at Monash University, the Sir Louis Matheson Library, maintains a collection
of 2,800,000 books and 70,000 journals. A total 16,300 books and 20 journals written in

The School of Communication, Language and Cultural Studies offers its Japanese language
program in two streams. The arts stream is designed for students intending to undertake a
major in Japanese as a part of a Bachelor of Arts degree, as part of a combined arts/business
degree or by combining arts with other degrees. The business stream is intended for students
who wish to take the language as an elective subject or as a sub-major.
The Japanese language program caters for students from a wide range of backgrounds
and offers subjects from the beginners level to the advanced level. Students are encouraged
to develop a positive attitude towards language learning, and are equipped with learning
strategies necessary for the development of their language skills.
Japanese is also offered on a single subject basis for those who wish to study Japanese
without enrolling in a degree. This study can be accredited towards a Graduate Diploma of
Modern Languages.

culture, literature, history or linguistics. There are courses on Japan-related issues offered in
other departments including history and philosophy. Opportunities for postgraduate study at
the School of Asian Studies allow students to develop further their particular spheres of
interest in Japan and Japanese to an advanced level. Within the Japanese program, staff

The Japanese program at Massey University in Palmerston North, paired with Chinese, forms
the East Asian studies program of the School of Language Studies. It has been the pioneer of
Japanese teaching at New Zealand universities and celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2005.
Courses extend from BA to PhD level and also include the Postgraduate Diploma in
the Teaching of Japanese as a Foreign Language. One unique feature of the Japanese program
is its dual mode of teaching, to both internal and distance students: currently extramural
enrolments significantly outnumber students studying internally.
Although developing Japanese language proficiency is the programs core activity,
language units are balanced against units in areas such as Japanese society, literature, cinema,
linguistics and teaching Japanese as a second language. This balance allows graduates to
attain a well-rounded and mature understanding of Japan, and also leads them into areas of
postgraduate specialisation.

The Australian Network for Japanese Law (ANJeL) is an initiative of the law faculties of the
Australian National University, University of New South Wales and University of Sydney.
Its primary aim is to promote research, teaching and community engagement with Japanese
law, especially in Australia. It also facilitates engagement with Australian law by Japanese
scholars and practitioners. ANJeL seeks to achieve this by fostering the exchange of
information and resources in an open, inclusive and informal network. The network is
comprised of members from the sponsoring institutions, general associates and affiliated
organisations.

RESEARCH PROGRAMS
ANJeL promotes scholarly exchange between the Australian and Japanese legal communities.
It mainly encourages collaborative and interdisciplinary legal research on Japanese law by
researchers in or associated with Australia, but it also supports research on Australian law by
Japanese jurists. As a worldwide scholarly network, ANJeL also participates in global legal
debates by promoting Australian and Japanese perspectives.
ANJeL facilitates the organisation of major research projects, applications for
competitive funding and dissemination of research through presentations and publications.
The three co-directors of ANJeL, Dr Kent Anderson, Dr Leon Wolff and Dr Luke
Nottage, are currently undertaking a research project on Commercial Law Reform in Japan
since the 1990s. This is an ARC Discovery Project on the major reforms to Japanese
commercial law in response to the Heisei recession.

ANJeL sponsors international conferences on Japanese law as well as various other seminars
and events.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
ANJeL offers a research visitors scheme to support scholars and jurists who seek affiliation
while in Australia. Inaugural visitors in 2003 were Judge Keisuke Hosoda (Tokyo District
Court), Professor Setsuo Miyazawa (then Waseda University, now Omiya Law School),
Associate Professor David Johnson (University of Hawaii) and Professor Makoto Ibusuki
(Ritsumeikan University).

LIBRARY FACILITIES
The National Library of Australias Japanese collection is the largest in Australia, containing
books and journals related to Japan, both in Japanese and in other languages. Resources in
Japanese total 106,000 books and 4,500 journal titles, and Japan-related resources in languages
other than Japanese total over 10,000 books and 1,500 journal titles.
The strengths of the collection lie in the subject areas of social sciences (especially
economics, law, education, burakumin, womens studies, statistics, politics and government);
post-1868 Japanese biography and history; fine and performing arts; military science; science
and technology; and Japanese works on Australia.
Another strength of the collection is in government publications, such as statistics of
many kinds (including various censuses and surveys); proceedings of the Japanese Diet; the
government gazette; collections of laws and statutes; Japanese diplomatic records; white
papers; and various ministerial journals.
Much retrospective material is held on microfilm including material on army and navy
activities, foreign affairs, and Australia from various government archives; collections of
papers of politicians like Okuma Shigenobu; prefectural statistics from the Meiji and Taisho
eras; laws from the Tokugawa period; censored periodicals from the occupation; and so
forth.
In addition there is the Harold S. Williams Collection consisting of books, personal
papers and photographs. The collection of books mostly concerns Japan and the West, with
some rare titles, and is considered to be one of the finest collections on this subject in the
world.
283

The National Library of Australia conducts several public activities that have a Japan focus.
Public lectures are conducted two to three times a year, as well as small annual exhibitions.
Workshops are held once a year for local school teachers, and library orientations are
conducted on demand for research students from The Australian National University and
visiting interstate students.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
Harold White Fellowship Scheme
Each year the National Library awards from four to seven fellowships to enable established
scholars and writers to undertake research in the library for periods of from three to six
months. One fellowship is awarded for the study of Japan and the West, based on the Harold
S. Williams Collection referred to above. The closing date for applications for the fellowships
is 30 April each year.
Most Harold White Fellows have undertaken research in the humanities and history.
Research projects can be in any discipline or area in which the library has strong collections,
including its extensive collections relating to Asia.
Fellows are provided with a return economy airfare to Canberra from his/her home
and a grant-in-aid toward living expenses in Canberra. In 2004 the fellows were given
grants of A$700 per week.
The library also awards honorary fellowships to scholars and writers who, being in
full receipt of salaries or funds from other sources, do not require financial assistance but
would benefit from the other privileges of the fellowships.
The fellowships are awarded by the National Library Council acting on the advice of
an independent committee. It comprises representatives of the Australian academies and
other scholarly and literary organisations.

CURRENT RESEARCH PROJECTS: The Body
and Sexuality in Medieval Japan examines the ways
in which the body came to be imagined or excluded
in medieval literary and religious texts. It examines
the absence of the body in courtly narratives such as
the Tale of Genji and counterposes this silence with
the exuberant presence of the body in the more
popular narratives where the sexual and scatological
