講義概要 This seminar will investigate the world of English language learning and teaching. We will study about the history and theory of English language learning and teaching and why many people consider it the world’s second language. We will also look at the role that technology, mass media, business, tourism and government has played in the expansion and teaching of English as a second language. We will learn about and practice techniques for language learning and research about the different dialects of English and the cultures they are used in.
