FEATURES ​

  1. IE Program: Learning themes essential to modern life in English

    In Department of English 's Integrated English (IE) program (first and second years), students engage in a variety of activities that use the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing in a well-balanced way, and through these activities, they think about universal themes for humans and important issues in modern society, such as human relationships, world cultures, environmental issues, and information and media. Classes are held in small groups, divided by level, and on a semester basis, with native speakers and Japanese teachers teaching half of the four classes per week as a general rule. The foreign teachers come from a variety of countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, but all of them have professional qualifications and extensive teaching experience.

  2. Understand "human beings" through English and literature in specialized subjects

    In Department of English, students study English as a tool to understand the world, while at the same time specializing in the study of the human ability to use the English language, the communication that utilizes that ability, and literature, which elevates this act of communication to an artistic expression. The common theme in all of these fields is "human beings." Both language and literature are essential to understanding human beings and the culture they create, and conversely, neither language nor literature can be understood without considering the mechanisms of human linguistic behavior and communication.

  3. PESE：PROGRAM FOR EXTENSIVE STUDIES IN ENGLISH

    This program meets the needs of students who want to study a wide range of specialized subjects across multiple courses, who want to study languages and specialized subjects in English, who want to pursue a professional career on the international stage, who want to study abroad at a graduate school abroad, etc. To enroll in this program, students must meet certain academic requirements.

  4. Interpretation and Translation Programs

    As globalization progresses, the demand for interpreting and translation is increasing, and it requires not only language skills and techniques but also a wide range of knowledge. By systematically studying this course in combination with other related subjects such as general theory courses, we aim to provide students with the basic skills they need to work as interpreters or translators after entering society.

  5. Produced many people with teaching licenses

    English education is one of the traditions of Department of English, which embodies the "Aoyama of English." Every year, several dozen students obtain English teaching licenses (for junior and senior high schools) upon graduation. We have created a curriculum that meets the aspirations of those who want to become English teachers by enriching the lecture and seminar courses necessary for the teaching profession.
