【講師プロフィール】 PINNER, Richard（ピナー，リチャード）　 上智大学助教 国籍 / UK 専門分野 / PhD & MA Applied Linguistics and ELT. Cambridge CELTA 著作 / ◇Reconceptualising Authenticity for English as a Global Language (2016). Bristol: Multilingual Matters ＵＲＬ / www.learn.uniliterate.com メール / rpinner@sophia.ac.jp メッセージ / I am interested in authenticity, motivation and learner autonomy. I try to help students to become successful learners by unlocking their potential. I am especially interested in using technology to communicate across cultures and using English in an international context. I have given academic presentations in international conferences in Europe and Asia, and worked with students from all over the world. 【学習内容】 Are you interested in British Culture? In this class we will learn all about the culture that brought forward cutting edge music, such as The Beatles and Radiohead. Students will be given the chance to learn about areas that most interest them, and listen to short lectures and share information in a task-based learning environment. Each week we will learn about one section of the culture of Britain, building up a complete picture by the end of the course. 【学習方法】 The teacher will give a short lecture at the start of class and then students will discuss ideas in groups. Sometimes, students will be expected to do a little bit of deeper research outside the class into areas that interest them, and discuss these as part of the class. 【学習形態】 The class will take the form of a listening lecture and then a communicative or content driven approach. The main focus is listening and discussion. 【受講者に期待する達成レベル】 Students will listen to lectures and take part in discussions about aspects of British Culture. This will help students to gain confidence in their English speaking and listening ability, with a particular focus on British English varieties.
