台湾の大学における日本語教育の沿革に関する一考察 : 特に第二次大戦後に焦点を当てて

The Japanese language education in overseas territory started, first time in history, in Taiwan as a national policy. It is already over a century since then. For the initial 50 years, the Japanese language education was made as a colonial mother tongue. In the beginning of next 60 years, the Japanese language education has been suppressed by Taiwan government until Taiwan is democratized and the Japanese language education in Taiwan is normalized. On the contrary, due to the recovery and the prosperity of Japanese economy after World War II, Japanese language education has been wide spread all over the world, and currently enormous number of people are studying the language. The purpose of this paper is to examine the change, the status quo, and the prospect of Japanese language education policy at university in Taiwan
