Setsuho IKEHATA (President, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies)
The 21st Century COE (“Center Of Excellence”) Program, launched by
the Ministry of Education, Sports, Culture, Science and Technology in 2002,
grants subsidies to distinguished universities in our country for the
establishment of a center of research and education in various fields with the
highest academic standards in the world. It aims at raising the level of
research in our country’s universities and fostering creative academic minds,
expected to become leaders of the world. Tokyo University of Foreign
Studies (TUFS) submitted applications for research projects in two of the
selected programs—the Humanities and Interdisciplinary/Compound/New
Sphere fields. We have obtained wonderful results; both projects were
selected. We are extremely pleased and encouraged by this high evaluation
of the unique research projects and educational potential of our Graduate
School of Area and Culture Studies.
To run the program, TUFS has outstanding experts who collaborate on
education and research in a wide range of academic fields including
linguistics, literature, history, philosophy, cultural anthropology, sociology,
political science, and economics. Thus, we have attained an extremely
consistent interdisciplinary and comprehensive approach for a single-faculty
university. In an age that emphasizes the global community, it is certainly
desirable for us to maximize and further develop this unique strength in both
education and research.
A strong foundation in foreign languages is vital to area and culture
studies. TUFS engages in education and research in over 50 languages,
cultures and societies in every part of the world, which contributes to
cross-cultural understanding and the development of people capable of
contributing to the actualization of a harmonious global community. In
addition, a double-major system that requires students to specialize in both a
language and a discipline-related course of study enables TUFS to produce
graduates equipped with a high degree of language competence and a deep
knowledge of world cultures and societies.
Our new campus in Fuchu is proudly equipped with the state-of-the-art
computing network. The most outstanding feature is the information literacy
and the number of computers on campus, which ranks at the top level among
liberal arts universities in our country. With such priviledged information

infrastructure, TUFS endeavors to make the best use of multimedia, the
internet and other devices, in order to develop the most advanced language
education.
The University’s Usage-Based Linguistic Informatics project, selected
by the 21st Century COE Program, is the concrete manifestation of our plans
for the future, which I have just mentioned. The implementation team
members are committed to this future vision and vigorously engaged in the
project. It is my fervent desire that they will produce rewarding results. It is
the intention of everyone at TUFS to combine our wisdom in a concerted
effort to do our utmost to make a success of the 21st Century COE Program.
With a view to providing full support to the program, TUFS has
established the “21st Century COE Program Administration Office” which is
directly responsible to myself, the President. This Office is an inter-sectional
organization consisted of the President, the Vice-President, the deans of each
division, the Program Leader, as well as the managers of the secretariat. Its
important role is to enhance the cooperation between the various sections
within TUFS and to administrate the use of the space and the budget
allocated for research.

1. Linguistic Informatics
It is widely believed that linguistic theories and computer sciences have
much influenced foreign language education, while the collaboration of these
three domains has not brought about new scientific results. The present
program will meet such a scientific need. An overall integration of
Theoretical and Applied Linguistics will be realized on the basis of
Computer Sciences. We have named this new synthetic field Linguistic
Informatics. When we hear this name for the first time, we may take it for a
branch of natural sciences. However, since our language represents a system
of information, Linguistics itself constitutes, in a broad sense, a part of
Informatics. In the following lines, the limitation of space will oblige me to
explain only the essence of this 21st Century COE (Center of Excellence)
Program.
