　View Summary

The Course of Study issued by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and Technology (MEXT) in 2018 states that the Teaching English in English (TEE) policy should be implemented at the junior high school level starting in 2020. This policy was already implemented in senior high school classrooms starting in 2008. TEE is appropriate and considered effective for foreign language instruction as it increases student proficiency in the target language. However,despite this policy's introduction, the 2022 MEXT survey revealed that the percentage of teachers who spoke for at least half of class time was 74.4% at junior high schools and 46.1% at high schools. This study is part of a larger project that investigates the trajectories of public-school English teachers regarding TEE. A TEM analysis of Participant K, a high school English teacher, is introduced to clarify the possible impacts of pre-service training, especially in methodology classes.
