臺灣日語教師、學生及社會上一般人對「前往日本工作」的價值認知

Consciousness of Japanese Teachers, Students, and Public of Taiwan on＂Taiwanese Working in Japan＂

臺灣人對日本好感度高，有不少臺灣年輕人有意願至日本就業，相對地，日本因少子高齡化嚴重，缺乏年輕勞動人口等因素，降低外國人在日本就業的門檻，因此近年臺灣人在日本取得工作簽證的人數變多。另一方面，重視學習者需求且熱心教學的部分日語教師，注意到給予在日本就業的臺灣人相關的支援；然而在個人職業及工作地等的人生選擇規劃及日語教育上，希望學生「學以致用」的層次之外，訓練有成的臺灣人才赴日就業，對臺灣而言會否是一種「人才外流」？基於以上，本研究以日語教師、15歲以上之學生，及既非日語教師亦非學生的一般人為對象進行調查，剖析他們對「臺灣人在日本就業」的想法。結果得知：臺灣日語教師、學生和一般人對在日本從事如「法律、會計相關工作」的接受度有所不同，但大體上三族群對臺灣人在日本從事工作的接受度都高。對於臺灣人在日本從事大多的工作多數人不太覺得是「人才流失」，其中又以日語教師的傾向最甚。對於臺灣人在日本從事如「翻譯、口譯」等部分工作的接受度，在不同性別、年齡層或日語學習經歷的族群間有差異。想要赴日工作的學生比例超過7成，但有過在日工作經驗的日語教師僅3成多，顯示日語教師宜多掌握「臺灣人在日本就業」的相關訊息。

Taiwanese commonly have good impression to Japan. In recent years many young Taiwanese are willing to work in Japan. Accordingly, owing to occurrence of serious sub-replacement fertility and population ageing, of shortage of young labors, Japan had lowered the threshold for allowing Taiwanese to work in it. Based on such a background, the number of Taiwanese who had awarded working permits in Japan has increased. On the other hand, part of Japanese teachers in Taiwan who are always paying attention to the needs of learners and are showing enthusiasm for Japanese teaching started to provide certain supports to these Taiwanese. However, besides the focus on having students to work on what they have learned based on personal choice on career and working place, whether to have well-trained Taiwanese with Japanese specialty to work in Japan can be regarded a kind of outflow of talents? This study aims at interviewing Japanese teachers, students with age above 15, and who are neither Japanese teachers or students mentioned above on their consciousness on the issue Taiwanese working in Japan. The results are as follows. The three groups of interviewees all have high acceptance rate to Taiwanese working in Japan, though there are some discrepancies on a few jobs such as ＂law and accounting related jobs＂. Overall, most interviewees disagreed that Taiwanese to work in Japan is an outflow of talents, with Japanese teachers having the highest disagreement. There are discrepancies on Taiwanese to work in Japan in job ＂translation and interpretation＂ in the items of gender, age, and whether has learned Japanese before. And, there are over 70% students who are willing to work in Japan; however, only 30+% Japanese teachers had working experience in Japan, suggesting that Japanese teachers should master more information on the topic Taiwanese working in Japan.
