Title: "How Will the English Language and its Place in the World Change in Your Life time? How Should We Prepare?"
Lecturer:Mr. Edward Scruggs…lecturer at Nanzan University
Professor Edward, who is the instructor at our school 's Incandescent English Classroom, gave lectures on All English for the first and second year students.What kind of history has English gone through to establish itself as the language of the world today? What kind of global views should we hold to communicate with people of the world? Such are the topics of the lecture, which is easy to understand as it encompasses a quiz as well. After the lecture, there was a survey and 67.8% of the students commented that they "understood the content of the lecture very well, or fairly well". This is higher than the 61.5% from last year's English lectures. Moreover, those who commented that they "have improved in their global view and ability" came up to be 87.7%, which is the same as the previous year's proportion. Even though there might be some incomprehensible parts, it seemed like a majority of the students had a good grasp of the subject matter of Mr. Edward's lecture.
