Abstract:

This dissertation examined students' learning processes and development of Japanese as a foreign language (FL) in relationship to a human ability called shutaisei in Japanese. Based on the premise that aspects of shutaisei and language use have an intrinsic relationship, this study explored the meanings of the concept of shutaisei and FL ability. It challenged the current notion of FL proficiency that sets a native-like competence as a major goal. Shutaisei is the ability to direct one's own conduct as an autonomous person.

With this in mind, the thesis identifies and explores three foundational premises that should be considered as part of an attempt to design a theoretically coherent framework for foreign language instruction.
