Overview
Every time I read books which deal with relation between Japanese and English, it’s very famous that Japanese are weak at English written in every book. When I read it, I feel that right. I’m poor at English too. But, then I have a question. Why Japanese weak at English? I don’t understand the reason why Japanese weak at English. Where are answers of this sad problem? I want to know that as Japanese. So, I research this problem and write this essay. In this essay, I deal with this problem from three different views. The first view is linguistic and cultural differences between Japanese and English. The second view is differences about English teaching between Japan and other Asian country. In this section, I pick up Korea as a comparative country. Why I choose Korea as a comparative country is that Korea is the same Asian country and the way of Korean English Teaching differs from Japanese one. The third view is Japanese original culture or attitudes.

This is an interesting topic, but still too large. Any one of the points you raise would be enough for your essay. You can pursue this topic in your research paper as well, but for your essay try to come up with a topic that will be manageable in 1500 words. The second point, regarding differences in teaching English in Korea and Japan, is very interesting though it might be difficult to research. Do you have some research material already? Are you talking about teaching English at junior or high school levels, university, or private English colleges. You could focus your essay by choosing one level, or perhaps comparing contrasting different levels of English education in conjunction between the comparison between the two countries. Even this though, is a big topic to take on! I'm not sure what you mean by 'Japanese original culture or attitudes'. Do you mean resistance to learning English among Japanese based on cultural prejudice/bias? This might be the most interesting of the three and easiest to research and write on. Good luck.
