Abstract

Acquiring skills for global communication in English is one of the most urgent tasks we face in today's world. Especially in Japan, a major shift is taking place, from approaching English as one of the liberal arts, to teaching English as a practical tool for global communication. Particularly at the university level, which has a direct interface with the business world, various efforts are being made in teaching technical English communication. In this paper, I would like to present an approach for the effective incorporation of technical communication into the existing university-level pedagogical framework, based on the English education program currently in use at the Faculty of Engineering, Toyo University, Japan.
