Notes

【Course Objectives】

The main aim of the course is to provide students with opportunities to enhance their understanding of how culture and thought patterns influence the performance and behaviours of second language learners, with a specific focus on Japanese learners of English. Various concepts and issues unique to the Japanese language and communication are introduced through empirical studies, and the course facilitates the exchange and proposal of ideas for effectively instructing Japanese learners of English to improve their intercultural competence.

【Course Contents】

In this course, various topics related to intercultural communication, such as Japanese politeness, Uchi and Soto, rhetorical structure, and interactional features, are covered. Students are required to read provided materials and orally summarize them in class, followed by discussions. Additionally, students have opportunities to apply their acquired knowledge to the development and/or revision of English Language Teaching materials. They are also tasked with completing a mini-project based on their observations, experiences, and experiments.
