Comparing Spanish and US School System Structure
[ send me this paper ]
A 13 page paper listing and evaluating
the similarities and differences between Spanish and US schools. Spanish students spend only
slightly more days in class each year than do US students. Spain spends less per student and gives
teachers less autonomy than in the US, yet Spain's overall literacy rate is greater than the US.
Specialized training is less developed in Spain, and both nations have difficulties with dropout
rates as teens move beyond the age of compulsory education. It appears that at least in the
primary and secondary levels, Spain can provide lessons for the world. Bibliography lists 7

Devising a Method for Researching TESOL in Japan
[ send me this paper ]
A 20 page paper addressing
researching the state of English instruction in Japan. The Japanese are said to have greater
difficulty in acquiring a working knowledge of English, but indications are that cultural issues
may lead passive and active resistance to English acquisition. The purpose here is to devise a
study of the effectiveness of Teaching of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) in
Japan, keeping cultural considerations uppermost in the design of the study. The paper includes
a literature review that discusses the cultural issues of imposing English on the Japanese, despite
recommendations that English become Japan's second official language in 2002. Half of the
paper is devoted to considerations for developing a survey instrument that will produce
statistically significant and unbiased results. Bibliography lists 33 sources.
