Abstract

<p>This study is an interview survey on the Association for the Promotion of Japanese Language Education＇s First Japanese Language Education Seminar, held in 1997, commonly called the Hakone Meeting. Based on the stories of 11 survey participants who attended the Hakone Meeting, this paper describes the meeting＇s significance for Japanese language schools. Life-story interviews with survey participants revealed that the Hakone Meeting created “collaboration among Japanese language schools” and aimed for Japanese language schools to “establish a social identity” together. To this end, they prepared a foundation for working jointly toward “improving the quality of Japanese language education.” The Hakone Meeting was a symbolic event for overcoming the “manager/managed” relationship between the Association for the Promotion of Japanese Language Education and Japanese language schools so that Japanese language schools (the “managed”) could independently orient themselves and engage with society. It offered Japanese language schools the opportunity to begin taking steps toward building a social identity as educational institutions at the forefront of international exchange.</p>
