Class Title: Business English 01 (2023)

Class Title: Business English 01: Advanced self-promotion

Through MEETING-STYLE CLASSROOM, students attempt to seek out and discover what they are better at or more knowledgeable about than other people, and present their result in English. Then, each student will become an expert in a certain area and create original content that they can use again later in the future: whether it be making a speech at a conference or small talk at a dinner, or even sitting next to someone on a train. Teachers support students in their efforts to expand their content and provide them with frameworks through which students can express themselves and deliver their message.

このゼミではMeeting-style classroomを通じ「自分が人より少し得意と思えること或いは詳しいと思えること」を追求し、その成果を英語で発表します。学生はある分野に関するスペシャリストとなり、今後英語で発信できるような独自のコンテンツを作ります。教員は学生がコンテンツを追求するサポートをし、発信するフレームワークを提供します。
