Medium description: | Dr. Masataro Sawayanagi, concerned with the level of English teaching in Japan, visits London. Here he meets with Japanese academic Masao Kinoshita, a former colleague of Palmer's, to discuss the problem. Kinoshita recommends Palmer as a person to help with the problem. The offer by Kojiro Matsukata, a Japanese businessman and philanthropist, who was also visiting London, to pay Palmers salary and the convincing of Sawayanagi that Palmer would evaluate existing practices before recommending alternatives settled the matter and Palmer was invited to Japan. |
