In the teaching of foreign languages, the importance of social setting, what might be called the 'pedagogy of sociolinguistics', is receiving increasing attention. But too little attention continues to be paid to the influence of the socialization of the teachers themselves on their attitudes towards language and the resulting foreign language pedagogy they employ, i.e. the sociolinguistics of pedagogy. Since students of foreign languages inevitably reflect a different socialization from foreign language teachers who are natives of the target society, differences in attitude and approach to learning which affect the learning process are often present. This paper examines some of the contrasts that exist when native American students study the Japanese language with native Japanese instructors. Recognition of the differences and appropriate pedagogical adjustments undoubtedly facilitate the learning process.
