ホーフステッドの不確実性の回避について The Relevance of Hofstede’s Uncertainty Avoidance バロウズ, C. BURROWS, Christian 環太平洋大学 360 830 Hofstede uncertainty avoidance cultural impact This article looks at the relevance of Hofstede’s dimension of uncertainty avoidance as it pertains to language education in Japan. The article considers the main factors of the dimension and assesses their application and accuracy as to the influence of cultural identity on classroom learning. Furthermore, suggestions are made which need to be incorporated into any communicative learning environment in Japan in order to maximize learner participation and achieve improvements in language proficiency. The approaches and strategies are required in order to overcome communication barriers unique to a country such as Japan, which scored highly on Hofstede’s uncertainty avoidance index, meaning that it is a country whose people feel uncomfortable in, and therefore avoid, unpredictable situations.
