授業の内容（Course Description） |
|
The way that English is used to communicate in a variety of cultural settings can make it difficult to learn to communicate well. As an introduction to international communication, this class will focus on the basic differences between Anglo-cultures and how these impact conversation and communication. English will be used in authentic contexts to learn about the world and different cultural and communicative approaches.
In ICI students will develop a a basic understanding about the way different native English speakers use English in contrast to other cultures and while some grammar will be analyzed, it will not constitute a significant part of the course.
You will get the chance to speak with and get to know a native speaker of English as well as have the opportunity to practice the English strategies, phrases, and idioms that you learn in class with other students. Additionally, you will learn strategies for improving your vocabulary, spelling and conversational English.
