【担当者】David McConnel RINES

【単位数】2                    【配当年次】1・2    【開講期】秋学期

 

【授業概要】

本科目では、ビジネスにおけるさまざまな事例や問題について英語で議論する。さらに公式の場でのビジネス・プレゼンテーションにおいて必要な言葉遣いや技能について学び、授業時間内に学生自身によるプレゼンテーションも実践する。プレゼンテーションの論題はクラスディスカッションに関するものが大部分であるが、学生自身が選んだ話題に関しても発表の機会を与える。社会的交流はビジネスの現場において大きな部分を占めているので、授業では総合的英語能力向上を目的とするアクティビティーも実践する。本科目は英語を母語としない学生のみ対象に開講される。（講義は英語で行われます。）
