A View of ‘Lingua Franca’ Education
From the Practices Employed During the Reorganization
of the English Curriculum at an Art University
山口＝内田雅克 YAMAGUCHI=UCHIDA Masakatsu
I have been working on the drastic reform of the
English Education curriculum here in Tohoku University
of Art and Design since 2007. This paper is a summary
of this research and practice undertaken over a period of
about five years.
In this paper, I will first introduce the entire curriculum
including the new placement test, the reorganized ability
grouping classes, and the opening of some classes with
specific purposes, such as an e-learning class for TOEIC
and a TOEIC Speaking/Writing class. Also, comments
from the teachers of each class are reported.
Second, I will offer data, such as the changes in the
students’ TOEIC scores and the number of the students
taking English courses, and provide some analysis of the
effects of e-learning or the trial TOEIC test.
Finally, from a wider point of view, I will discuss the future
of English Education in Japan from such perspectives
as English as a lingua franca, communication among non-
English native speakers, some effective uses of TOEIC,
the causes of slow learning, some validity of translation,
and the desirable class design in general English Education
in the undergraduate course.
