AB In terms of syntactic patterns, the prescriptive word order in English is Subject, Verb, Object (SVO), while in Japanese it is Subject, Object, Verb (SOV). Moreover, in Japan, the availability of useful English input may be limited outside of school in comparison to western countries. This bachelor dissertation intends to tackle these two issues in relation to English teaching in a Japanese context. Taking into consideration Krashen’s theories of second language learning and acquisition, a survey was conducted to 22 students of English in Japan, with questions concerning their exposure to the language in their daily lives and their experience learning English. The overall results show that difficulties on understanding word order may vary across competences and highlight the importance of receiving an adequate external input.
