Abstract - This paper presents the general findings of ‘The Survey of Japanese Workers’ English Use: Second Wave’, conducted by the author in March 2022. The results are as follows: (1) The frequencies of international communication behaviour (English use, Japanese use with foreigners, and use of translation tools) ranged from an average of 0.6 to 16.0 times per year and from 3.7% to 33.9% in terms of the ratio of experience. (2) Despite the impact of the COVID19 pandemic on international mobility, the frequencies of international communication generally remained at the same level or increased slightly from 2019 to 2021. (3) Japanese people were inclined to overestimate the number of Japanese users of English and the frequency of communicating with native speakers of English. This suggests the workings of globalist and global language ideologies as well as native-speakerist ideologies. (4) The average TOEIC score among Japanese workers as a whole (including non-test-takers) was estimated at approximately 440 via a multiple imputation method. (5) Behaviours and perceptions about the English language (e.g. English use frequency, positive attitudes toward English learning and the view of English use among Japanese people) were influenced by various demographic, behavioural and attitudinal factors. For example, English proficiency and pro-globalisation attitudes showed straightforward effects, whereas age, gender and education level exhibited some complex effects.
