Spanish and other languages gain ground as Russian falls out of favour in Lithuanian schools.
Fewer and fewer pupils in Lithuanian schools are choosing Russian as a second foreign language – last year, less than half opted for it.
Meanwhile, Spanish, French, and German are becoming increasingly popular.

New publication: "Interview with Steve McCarty" [on his professorial accomplishments in Japan].
The College and University Educators research group of the Japan Association for Language Teaching has honored me with their second annual Veteran Teacher Voices interview on my teaching career in Japan. I critique the foreign language teaching profession, discuss future trends of increasing foreigners in Japan, the need for English, and long-term effects of AI on language acquisition.
I believe educationalists will find this article interesting: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/386424805

Late in my last semester teaching, here are three photos of autumn colors on campus in Ōsaka.
Soon I will be honored by the College and University Educators research group of the Japan Association for Language Teaching with an interview article about my teaching career. This is after the 2022 book chapter on my relationship with Japan and my research discoveries. The forthcoming interview is mostly about my professorial accomplishments, but it also includes personal happenings. My summation of how the foreign language teaching profession took a wrong turn around the 1990s in Japan will be controversial.
Soon I will post a link to the article or preprint when it is available online.

Rafi Saleh reviews two books related to translanguaging for the journal Applied Linguistics. In my view, his analysis displays a kind of disciplinarity whereby generalities about plurilingualism are vulnerable to criticism from various quarters, but by specifying the perspective, such as policy or ontology, differing stances can both be true.

Too many decades in Japan, but surprised to find that "kawaii" ([Japanese-style] cute, adorable, etc.) has become a loanword in English. Many technical or other English terms that I use are not in the Scrabble Dictionary, but kawaii is. Cuteness is ubiquitous in contemporary Japan, and apparently getting exported. The attached screenshot is from our family LINE group.
I have always advised college students to use Romanized Japanese terms in sentences if there is no English equivalent. This lengthy "List of English words of Japanese origin" would have been handy when I was teaching classes of mixed international and Japanese students. You might also find it of reference or interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_of_Japanese_origin

2/2 Among the limitations are that the English is too much and too difficult for L2 learners in most academic sources, such as journals. When students use automatic translation, they have probably thought about the content in Japanese, but they can paste auto-translated English into papers without fulfilling the language-driven mandate to balance the content-driven approach. I do not believe in content-based EFL as a pretext to mask a language-driven agenda, since the students are enriched by the transferable knowledge they gain in L1 as well as in L2.
Writing reflects thinking, so I discourage writing and speaking that relies on machine translation or AI. The result might be obvious, but we cannot accuse and police students.
How can we promote authenticity in such an age?
