【Course Objectives】

In this course, students will learn about the rise of English as a language of Global Business, exploring the reasons why English has achieved status as a ‘lingua franca’ of Business. Students will examine companies which have instituted English as an official language and understand the key opportunities and challenges for companies in instituting such policies.

【Course Contents】

English skill is a founding principle upon which the Department of Global Business at Rikkyo University was created. This course introduces students to the rationale underlying that strategic decision by the College of Business. It explores the growth of English as a global language of business, including some of the difficulties and dangers from having a common language. This class also focuses on the movement, within companies, to adopt English as the common language of the corporation. Using Rakuten as a case study, students will learn about the opportunities and challenges for companies and individuals from such policies. Students will then explore the experiences of other companies and present their findings to the class.
