When teachers of English as second language begin teaching in a different
cultural context from their own, the initial experience can be confusing and frustrating. Student behavior and ways of thinking in the new cultural context can appear to be quite different from the teacher’s and until the teacher starts to understand these behaviors and ways of thinking their student behavior can appear odd, inconsistent and contradictory. It is important therefore to explore avenues to analyze, understand and classify such behaviors. The psychological macro-theory Self Determination Theory (SDT) considers human motivation and behavior to be based on three universal needs, competence, autonomy and relatedness. For language teachers working in new cultures, it thus offers a framework to analyze and categorize local behaviors through a global theory. This article aims to apply SDT to examine and understand amae, a power sharing social construct that influences Japanese social behavior and communication. Amae can often be misinterpreted by teachers new to Japan as immature and dependent behavior. The article looks at the teacher-student relationship in exploring how amae can be understood through the SDT framework. If amae can be explained and understood through a common lens it will assist future language teachers coming to Japan in more quickly grasping the cultural influence of amae, how to respond to related student behavior and facilitate a more successful learning environment. |
