Notes

【Course Objectives】

The main aim of the course is to provide students with opportunities to deepen their understanding of intercultural communicative competence in foreign language learners and of how intercultural communication is learned and taught, particularly in educational settings in Japan. The foreign language learners discussed in this course may include Japanese EFL (English as a foreign language) learners and learners of Japanese as a foreign language. The course also encourages the exchange and development of ideas for effective foreign language teaching that enhances intercultural communicative competence.

【Course Contents】

In the first half of the course, theories and current issues in intercultural language teaching and learning are covered. In addition to opportunities to hear a guest lecture from an educational practitioner of foreign language teaching in Japan, students are encouraged to participate in micro-teaching, during which they deliver a sample lesson.
In the second half of the course, various topics of cultural keywords/scripts—such as Japanese politeness wakimae, amae, uchi and soto, topic prominence, and interactional features such as aizuchi—are explored. These topics are introduced to deepen students’ understanding of how culture and thought patterns influence the performance and behaviour of second language learners of Japanese as well as Japanese EFL learners.
