(授業紹介)ネイティブ講師から学ぶビジネス英会話:「Business Communication」(担当:ダーシー・デリント)

国際キャリア学科(ICD)の英語科目は定期的に実施するテストに基づき、習熟度ごとにクラスを編成しています。カリキュラムは英語力をスキル別に高め、総合的に伸ばすことを目的に編成されており、授業の多くは米国、英国、カナダ、ニュージーランドなど英語圏出身のネイティブの教員が担当しています。

 

以下は国際キャリア学科2年生を対象とし、習熟度ごとに分けられた四つのクラスでビジネスで使う英語を学ぶ「Business Communication」(2年生必修科目)を担当しているダーシー・デリント先生(Mr. Darcy De Lint、カナダ出身)による授業紹介です。

「Business Communication」(Darcy De Lint)

Hello, I'm Darcy de Lint an English language instructor here at Fukuoka Jo Gakuin University. I am from Canada originally, but I have been living and teaching here in Fukuoka for many…many years. I have a lot of teaching experience from many different places, and I have found that Fukujo ICD program is one the friendliest and most positive environments for learning. Students are very willing to hear teachers’ input, work together as well as learn from each other; a healthy community learning space.

 

Now a few minutes of Business Communication I with the い group. This term is going very well, and we all seem to appreciate seeing everyone in person again. This course is focused on getting comfortable with and building knowledge of words, phrases and exchanges that are common in a workplace setting. We also work in different ways that you might see on the job; individually, in pairs and in small groups. The い group is doing a great job of being in class, being engaged in class and making the most out of every exercise.

 

The class takes place in the bright and airy CALL 4 language lab, where there are laptops for each student. Here the いgroup also gets a chance to develop their computing skills as we have laptops open for the class. In class, while having class and group discussions, we exchange material online, access the net for short research exercises and use the laptop tablets as support tools for brief presentations. 

 

Here are a few comments for the class members.
