 note = {According to Natsume Soseki’s stance of being an individual, he offers us a sense of clarity and objectivity to view society from afar. In Soseki’s clear-minded viewpoints, he had created a personal and more individualized philosophy that was devoid of political rhetoric and sectarianism. He had emphasized the path toward truth that can be found in each of us since there are no obstacles in our solitary journey within. In his definition and concept of “individualism”, he stressed the mportance of establishing one’s own philosophy toward education as a teacher. This paper in brevity addresses how Soseki’s individualism may be applied for English educators here in Japan as well as in other countries. At times, it can be a constant struggle in keeping up with the ongoing changes based on new research from various academic disciplines in the teaching field.◆This can be described as the delicate balancing act of creating effective lessons to develop language proficiency skills for English as Second Language learners (ESL). Moreover, language educators must meet the standards of internationalization for today’s ongoing economic and political growth as a nation as a whole. Upon further review of Natsume Soseki’s writings, the ideals of progress can stem from the individual teacher who bases his or her own belief systems as influenced by any given society. In understanding our own individualism from Natsume Soseki’s neutral viewpoints, he signals us to be more aware of the inner truths that lie within each of us. In pursuit of an ongoing global discussion that may help us piece together the necessary transitions to keep pace with the constancy of societal flux, the message contained in this paper is to promote a more harmonious chorus of universal positivism within our educational system today. Most importantly, each individualized impact can add to a greater evolving consciousness as a whole, and in short, this is something that we should all aim for in the near future.},
