Kobe JALT:

The Intergration of English Language Education within Mainstream University Discipline-Area Study in Japan: A Case Study of 'Shimada' University and The Sociology Department

Date: Sunday, February 17th, 2002 Time: 1:30 PM - 4:30 PM

Speaker: Prof. Alan Brady, PhD, Kwansei Gakuin University

Description:
There will be two presentations today.
The intention of this study is to help those people involved in the teaching and research of ELE (English Language Education) at university in Japan to more clearly understand and value what is important to them regarding higher education ELE. The absence of integrated and interdisciplinary structures on the one hand, and a clear and consistent learning mission on the other hand may be the case with higher education ELE at certain institutions in Japan. The study is undertaken from the standpoint of one person who looks for possible solutions to problems of action within the environment in which he works.
