Abstract: The books Language Education for the Global Citizen (Sato & Kumagai 2011) and Language Education for Social Future (Sato, Takami, Kamiyoshi & Kumagai 2015) view the goals of language education as not just teaching and learning the standard forms of national language (and culture), but also actively participating in communities as a full member, using the language already mastered as well as the one being taught. Active participation includes examining the rules critically, making an effort to succeed, changing the rules as needed by negotiating with others, and taking responsibility as a member of the community. In this talk, I will provide examples of how this vision was realized by incorporating project-based activities like the Social Issue Project and the Community Involvement Project into the existing curriculum.
