| 授業の題目 | Understanding and Using English as a Global Language |
| 学修の概要 | We often hear that English is a GLOBAL language. But what does that really mean for you as a person who has been studying English in Japan seriously for several years? How can you think about English so that you could feel freer and more confident in using it? How can you also build on your skills so that you can be more successful in understanding other speakers and being understood by them in real-life situations? This course introduces you to the concept and practice of using English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) which would help you find some answers to such questions. It will also give you an opportunity to practice and enjoy communicating with young adults of various cultural backgrounds studying or working at an American university. It may also help you discover new ways of communicating more effectively with foreign residents and visitors in your own community! |
| 学修の到達目標 | By the end of the course, successful students will be able to: 1. Understand the reality of English communication in the world today 2. Find a way of thinking about English as something other than just a “foreign” language 3. Begin getting used to listening to, and understanding, English speakers from around the world 4. Try out some ELF communication strategies in real cross-cultural exchanges 5. Reflect on this experience and share their thoughts with other students 6. Become aware of some basic points in intercultural competence for themselves |
