概要 This paper describes a qualitative study that investigated the experiences of foreign faculty teaching graduation seminar classes in Japan. The graduation seminar, known colloquially as zemi in Japanese, is a class that holds significant educational and cultural weight in Japanese education. As well as regular instruction and learning, the class retains from its inception a tradition of mentoring and the transference of academic skills from the teacher to apprentices. We considered how the relatively recent inclusion of foreign faculty was affecting the conception of the class, and how foreign educators were coping with the creation of effective programs in a system, of which they had no personal experiences. To investigate these ideas, we interviewed 14, non-Japanese, university faculty who had taught the class for less than five years.
