The Great East Japan Earthquake and the Fukushima No.1 nuclear power plant accident revealed serious problems with Japanese information communication systems. From a rhetorical viewpoint, the Japanese language starts to explain a situation from the beginning and leaves the outcome until the end. In traditional Japanese culture, the world is thought to move with the collective flow of nature, and all things are constantly in the process of change. Thus, self-assertion is not encouraged in Japan. The Japanese language itself is imbued with “vagueness,” possessing a wealth of vocabulary and expressions but often not being conducive to sending out a clear message. Unfortunately, under emergency circumstances, such as experienced in March 2011, serious problems can occur. In this paper, we examine the language used by researchers in science and engineering, where clarity is essential. We prepared the Japanese-English Corpus of Presentations in Science and Engineering (JECPRESE) of transcriptions of presentations given in Japanese and English by researchers. Our comparative analyses revealed that the “vagueness” in Japanese results from missing subjects and a lack of sensitivity for paragraph structure (idea frameworks), verb tense and mood. In order to send out a clear message, more effort needs to be made to be aware of the audience’ s viewpoint. Only in this way can the Japanese learn to speak out without “vagueness” as the world accelerates towards internationalization with the ever increasing need to send out clear messages.

研究ノート応用言語学の分野で様々な成果を上げているジャンル分析の手法は、高等教育における言語教育に大きな影響を与えている。本稿では、ジャンル分析を言語教育研究の広いフィールドの中で再考し、ジャンル分析が日本の大学英語教育にどのような影響や貢献をもたらしてきたかを検証する。検証の過程で、ジャンル分析の視点から ESP( English for Specific Purposes) とEAP( English for Academic Purposes) の関連性について考察し、EAPはESPの二項対立概念ではなく、ESP に内包される一主要領域として位置づけられることを明確にする。そして、大学英語教育においてEAP を実践するにあたっては、教育目的の明確化と実質化を導くジャンル分析の手法が極めて有用であることを示す。Genre analysis has been one of the most useful as well as feasible research areas in the field of applied linguistics, and its influence on practices of language education has been significant. This article aims to reexamine genre analysis from the broader perspective of language teaching and learning, and consider its contributions to the college English education in Japan. In the process of reexamining genre analysis, the controversial distinction between ESP and EAP is discussed in search for a conceptually logical answer. From a genre theory point of view, EAP proves to be a major domain within ESP, which renders practical clues in constructing the college English curriculum in Japan.
