Course Outline and Method

In this course, students will learn the characteristics of English (such as sounds, meanings, and the structure of words and sentences) through reading English texts. Then students will research “what kinds of business activities use English and why they succeeded,” and conduct presentations and discussions in English. By reading English texts and business articles, students will enhance their English skills and gain insight into the relationship between English and business.

この授業では、英語の音・意味・語や文の構成などの特徴を英文テキストの読解を通して学ぶと共に、それらをふまえて「英語を使ったビジネスにはどのようなものがあり、それが成功したのはなぜか」について調べ英語でプレゼンやディスカッションを行う。英文テキストやビジネス記事の読解を通じて英語力を高めるとともに、言語とビジネスの関係について考えるきっかけとなるようにしたい。
【+R授業】詳細はmanaba+Rを参照(第12回で実施予定)
