This paper summarizes a survey carried out in February 2010 concerning the “Classes Conducted in English (CCE)” issue in the general education curriculum at Hokkaido University. Among 794 instructors who are teaching a general education class at Hokkaido University, 317 people responded (full time teachers = 257, part time teachers = 59, unknown = 1). The report shows that 116 instructors (about 40% of the respondents) have experience teaching classes in English, and 168 (about 50% of the respondents) state that they can provide CCE (if the relevant conditions are met) in Hokkaido University general education classes. This suggests that it is possible to increase the number of CCE for the general education curriculum if we provide the relevant support for the instructors. At the same time, however, there is a substantial amount of worry about the negative effect of CCE. More discussion seems to be necessary on what CCE is for, what kinds of subjects are suitable for CCE, and what kinds of students are eligible for CCE in the context of the “internationalization” of Hokkaido University.
