A Sociolinguistic Study of the Effects of Ethnocentrism and Cultural Traits on Proficiency of Japanese Speakers of English
|
| Abstract |
A sociolinguistic investigation to determine whether or not ethnocentrism, cultural and personality traits, and values and beliefs influence ESL learning among Japanese living in Montreal. These factors were investigated using a questionnaire that measured the degree to which Japanese subjects agreed with statements expressing ethnocentric views about Japanese culture and language, traits, proverbs and modern myths. The author’s hypothesis is that these factors are negatively correlated with English proficiency.
