| Abstract | Okayama University has seen recently an upsurge in the number of courses taught in English. While students generally like the English-medium courses for the abundance and novelty of information available in them, they tend to show hesitance to participate, which sometimes leads to dissatisfaction with the courses. International faculty members also feel something is amiss because they do not understand why students fail to be responsive. Clearly, enhancement of student participation and mitigation of the alienating teaching experience of international faculty are challenges to effective administration of global studies. To that end, the quiet cultivation of optimal demographics for Englishmedium courses is currently the most effective strategy. |

| Abstract | This paper explores the experiences of Japanese-schooled Zainichi Koreans. It analyses the differences and commonalities in terms of their education, family structure, and ethnicity. It also examines how some Japanese-schooled Koreans (re)gained their ethnic identity through their activities in the Chongryun youth group, as well as why they were attracted to the group and how their activities affected their lives and identities. The author conducted semi-structured, in-depth interviews with thirty-seven Zainichi Koreans, including eighteen Japanese-schooled Zainichi Koreans, from 2007 and 2010. This research shows differences in schools and education are the major source of divisions in the Zainichi population and the subsequent formations of their identities. |

| Abstract | For many years, there have been numerous attempts by the Japanese Government (MEXT in particular) to help Japanese Universities to keep pace with their counterparts in international developed nations. In 2020, only 3 of them remain in the top 100 of the ARWU list, and the ranking of Japanese universities continues to be significantly on decline. Based on the well-known Humboldt model, putting research at the core of the system, an innovative development strategy has been implemented at Okayama University. The paper details the major features of the method and finally concludes on the possible extension of the model to numerous Japanese universities where research teams are significantly present. |

| Abstract | This paper discusses the diversifying lives of Zainichi Koreans in order to understand their identities in transition. Along with the improved legal and social status of Zainichi Koreans and subsequently their living conditions, a large number of Zainichi Koreans have been leaving ethnic institutions, and in some cases, the Zainichi community. The ethnic relations surrounding Zainichi Koreans also partly reflect the diplomatic relations between Japan and the two Koreas. The difference in the images of the two Koreas is a significant factor in their ethnic identities. This paper also examines how Zainichi Korean civil rights movements after the 1970s have encouraged many Zainichi Koreans to assert and maintain their ethnic pride. |

| Abstract | The number of International Baccalaureate (IB) students applying to Japanese Universities is increasing. Okayama University is a Super Global Japanese National University which started IB admissions in 2012, and presently has 50 IB students in 11 faculties and 1 special program, in addition to 4 IB graduates. The IB journey began in 2012, and over a period of 7 years, Okayama University has taken multiple approaches to become IB student-friendly, by revising the IB admission policies as per IB student requirements; training faculty on IB education; exploring the differences in IB education and Japanese High School education; listening to IB student voices and familiarizing faculty about IB student backgrounds and characteristics. By providing IB student support, educating faculty and doing extensive IB research, Okayama University has established itself as a pioneer of IB admissions among the IB Organization, prospective IB students and parents, IB college counselors and other National Universities in Japan. |

| Abstract | Based on a statistical analysis of R&D activities in the field of superconductivity (SC) in a broad sense, the paper reports that Japan's leadership is strong over the past 20 years, in terms of researchers publications and patents. It also essentially shows that among the main world players, the Japanese normalized contribution is significantly dominating, although some trend towards a diminished leadership is observed in the data over the period 2005 -present time. Finally, the paper highlights that by taking advantage of their internationally recognized expertise in the field, joint Japanese and European research teams may advance superconductivity as a reliable road to meet Energy and Health SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals -UNESCO 2015). |

| Abstract | 現在多くの日本の大学では、グローバルな教育内容と環境を促進することが火急の課題である。岡山大学では英語教育の質の向上と授業科目の英語での提供の２つに取り組んでいるが、その実践においてCLIL（内容言語統合型学習）が有用であると考えられる。また日本の高等教育機関において、CLIL を既に実践あるいは導入を検討している教育関係者と経験やアイデアを共有し、ネットワークを作って今後の情報交換を行うことも非常に重要である。そこで岡山大学では2016 年2 月にフィンランドから２名の講師を招き、３日間のCLIL ワークショップを開催した。この論文では４大学の参加者４名がワークショップで紹介された２つの大学の異なったCLIL モデルについて報告する。またワークショップで行った様々なアクティビティを通して参加者が学び取ったことや成果についても記述する。 |

| Abstract | This study attempts to develop a management model at cross-cultural work environment, which explains how managers’ perception affects their organisational performance. The model is created based on findings of quantitative research conducted toward Japanese aid project managers working in developing countries. As a result of cluster analysis, four types of aid project managers were identified. The model clarified how four types of aid project managers perceive, behave and consequently lead to either high or low performance organisation. Finally, this study indicates that fostering and maintaining positive perception are a key for successful organisation. |

| Abstract | 本稿では1906年に日本人のための朝鮮語学習書として、日本に亡命していた韓国人の安永中(1870年～1910年)により松雲堂で発行された『韓語』に現れる韓国語を分析し、開化期の韓国語の特徴を概観した。著者は卷頭の「例言」で、本書は専ら日本人の朝鮮語学習のために古籍や自分の研究等により編纂し、日本語文法に依ることと、用言の活用のように変化の多い用法の習得に重点をおき、会話文も重視していることを示している。本書は誤字も少なく、開化期の識者層の韓国語をよく反映している点で開化期の韓国語の資料として価値をもつといえる。今後、明治期の他の朝鮮語学習書や韓国人のための日本語学習書を考察することで、現代韓国語の形成過程をより明らかにできると期待される。 |

| Abstract | 本稿では20世紀初めに日本人のための朝鮮語学習書および韓国人のための日本語学習書として金島苔水と廣野韓山により刊行された『韓語敎科書』(1905年)について、韓国語の単語と文およびその仮名音注を分析し、本書に現れる20世紀初めの韓国語の特徴(音注・語彙・助詞・語尾)を概観する。著者の金島苔水は1900年代から1930年代にかけて朝鮮語と中国語の学習書を多数出版しているが、内容の充実度や正確さより商業出版物の性格が重要視されているといわれる。それゆえ本書のハングル表記には多くの誤記がみられる。また、李斗璜（1858年～1916年）が金島苔水の一部の著述に関わったことも分かる。本書には開化期の口語的な特徴がよく反映されており、開化期の商業関連用語も多く現れる。今後、金島苔水の他の著作を総合的に考察し、明治期の他の朝鮮語学習書や韓国人のための日本語学習書を考察することで、現代韓国語の形成過程をより明らかにできると期待される。 |

| Abstract | 本稿では開化期の韓国語学習書である『実地応用朝鮮語独学書』(1896)について、韓国語の文とその仮名音注を分析し、本書に現れる19世紀末の韓国語の特徴(音注・語彙・助詞・語尾など)を概観した。また『実地応用朝鮮語独学書』を基に約20年後の1915年に著者の弓場重栄により京城で刊行された『ポケット朝鮮語独学』((1915))と本書との相違点をまとめ、韓国語の変遷などを考察した。本書には開化期のソウル方言の口語的な特徴がよく反映されており、言語学的な価値を持っているといえる。また開化期の商業関連用語が多く現れることと、「第四編 会話」には同時期の他の韓国語学習書と比べて独自的な文が多いことも特徴である。今後、明治期の他の韓国語学習書や韓国人のための日本語学習書を総合的に考察することで、現代韓国語の形成過程をより明らかにできると期待される。 |
