Research ethics and prevention of research misconduct are introduced in the relevant class sessions. 授業内で随時教授する研究倫理や研究不正防止 [実務経験内容: For over 10 years I was engaged in training, sales & marketing in packaged goods companies in Canada with non-native English speaking customers and since 2000 I have conducted business English training in Japan for trainees and managers at Nestle, Mitsubishi, Kawasaki, Toshiba, Nihon Felt (Ambic), & Nippon Boehringer Ingelheim. In this class, I will use that work experience to teach language in use with a focus on intelligibility and communicative competence for Business English as a Lingua Franca (BELF), suitable for understanding and being understood in global contexts.] |
