Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C)，2021/04 - 2024/03，Addressing Japan's International TOEFL Ranking with an ''English for Liberal Arts'' Curricular Model for Colleges and Universities
The researchers propose to implement a new CLIL- and content-based curriculum focused upon the traditional liberal arts as reflected by the TOEFL. They will create 12 modules of liberal arts materials for first- year study in the following areas: Sociology, Economics, Zoology, Botany, Health and Medicine, Geology, Meteorology, Astronomy, Natural History, History, Literature, Music and Theater, and Art and Photography. Each module will include reading and listening passages, discussion activities, writing exercises, and the basic non-technical vocabulary of each field. The aim of these modules is to build the knowledge schema and academic skills needed to take EMI courses in English and to increase academic readiness as demonstrated by TOEFL performance.
