The Idea of English in Japan: Ideology and the Evolution of a Global Language
This book examines the ways in which English is conceptualised as a global language in Japan, and considers how the resultant language ideologies - drawn in part from universal discourses; in part from context-specific trends in social history - inform the relationships that people in Japan have towards the language.
It's a pretty good book for learning English with a lot of examples to help you, so you can talk with other people with more fluency, if you want to go to an English-speaking country.
