情報社会と大学英語教育 The Information Society and College English in Japan Minamitani, Akimasa 南谷, 覺正 大学英語教育 情報社会 実用英語 教養 訳読 Departmental Bulletin Paper This essay is an attempt to search for ways to improve college English education in Japan. It first analyzes\nseveral popular fallacies concerning English education, by applying the common understandings extracted from\nthe Hiraizumi-Watanabe debate of 1975. Second, it takes up the long-running argument specifically between the\npractical, communication-oriented school and the ‘liberal arts education’-oriented school to explore the\npossibilities for resolving the bitter divide that has haunted the history of English education in Japan. Lastly, the\nmerits of the traditional translation method in English education are reevaluated and reaffirmed as a good way of\npinpointing students’ weak points, having them get inside English texts, and expanding their mental and\nintellectual faculties. All these perspectives are discussed in view of the information society. 群馬大学社会情報学部 2014-02-27 2017-03-27 jpn departmental bulletin paper VoR http://hdl.handle.net/10087/8183 https://gunma-u.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/1157 AN10477040 1346-8812 群馬大学社会情報学部研究論集 21 93 112 https://gunma-u.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/1157/files/minamitani21_93-112.pdf application/pdf 831.0 kB 2020-11-17
