授業の題目 上級貿易通信 International Business Communication III
学修の概要 This task-based course focuses on creating a “real-life” English-communication environment in the classroom. Students simulate being interns at a new cutting-edge company where they work alone, in pairs, and in small groups to perform workplace and business-related tasks. All classroom activities are realistically connected; all conversations, discussions, video calls, interviews, and written outputs as well as presentations have a contextual purpose - similar to using English while working in a real company.
[Instructor's practical experience: Engaged in training, sales & marketing in packaged goods companies in Canada and in business English training in Japan for Nestle, Toshiba, Mitsubishi, Kawasaki, Nihon Felt (Ambic), and Nippon Boehringer Ingelheim]
学修の到達目標 This course employs a 'strong' version of TBL (task-based learning) organized according to the task complexity of the projects rather than by language forms. The primary goal is to develop communicative competence in English (rather than grammatical accuracy) through meaningful tasks relevant to real world business practices.
