In recent years, English education in Japan has experienced the turbulence of the university English entrance examination reform. Although the introduction of private-sector English tests into the examination system was officially on halt in July 2021, this reform has dramatically impacted and confused high school students, parents, and teachers. The problem with the English entrance examination reform was the lack of fairness in the system. This paper aims to explore the issue of myriad disparities surrounding English and its education, which is interlinked to inequality identified in the entrance examination system, while examining the direction of English education policy research in light of the findings of quantitative sociology of education. First, I will explain how the entrance examination system of providing English grades using private-sector English tests was discontinued. Second, I will turn to research studies with statistical, theoretical, and policy approaches investigating various gaps in the English language, English education, and policy. Third, the analysis and discussion of the disparities surrounding English accumulated in the field of English education will be examined in relation to the findings of quantitative sociology of education to better understand the overall picture of disparities over English education. In summary, the future directions for English education policy research will be discussed.

This paper summarizes a brief history on the two after-school activities, ProjectBSD and NELab. Both activities shares the same aim: to find students who have an intention to be great but do not know how to do it, to get them together, to organize them into one group, and to wait for a chemical reaction between them to cause. What the author prepares is just a room and computers. It is the practice of active learning. Since our activities spanned rather long period of time, fifteen years, only this paper cannot describes the details, and the author just chronically introduces the two activities, and specific analyses of them form the point of view of learning sciences will be dealt on another paper.
