Each country has its unique objectives for teaching foreign languages. In Japan, as is well known, getting into higher institutes of education is probably one of the most obvious objectives. At the same time, there is also a more general need for the Japanese to learn English, which is to acquire it as a means to surviving in the international society of which Japan is a prominent member. I will try to present several criteria to, hopefully, clarify these points.
