台灣自從甲午戰爭結束之後開始了日語教育，2015年適值120週年。經過了日本殖民時代、蔣家集權統治時代，進入李登輝總統時代之後，由於自由民主的時代潮流所趨，使得台灣的日語教育掙脫了嚴格的限制，展現出強盛的發展能力，日語學系相繼成立。雖然近年來由於少子女化的影響，使得一些日語學系陸續被合併或停止招生，不過，台日兩國在歷史、地理、人文各方面都有密切的關係，不論日語 教育現況如何變遷，日語在台灣都具有相當的重要性，而對日本語學 的研究也是不可忽略的課題。日本殖民時期，政府以日語作為培育日 本皇民的工具，非常重視日語教學法。相對地日本語學研究較未被提及。1945 年太平洋戰爭終戰之後，日語成為台灣的禁忌語言，遑論研究。1963年中國文化學院成立了戰後第一個台灣的大學日本語文學系，名稱為東方語言學系日文組，並且於1968年起出版『中日文化』學報，開始有了研究成果的發表園地。本論文之目的在於論述1895年7月-2015年4月間，台灣有關日本語學研究的内涵及其動向，以期對今後的日本語學研究有所啓發。
