内容紹介

大学英語（外国語）の存在意義と普遍的価値は人格形成にある。言語運用能力と学習実践をそこに定めて信念、価値観、世界観、人生観を明らかにしていく。それが叡智（ウィズダム）学習となり、結実する。このベクトル（自己成熟＆言語成熟）実現に向けて学際性（倫理学、公共哲学、スピリチュアリティetc.）を重視し、教授法を立ち上げ、授業実践とテキスト開発に至る取り組みを紹介している。



When combining “Authenticity” and “College English as a Foreign Language"" with focus on ""Wisdom Education"", it is imperative to embrace the L2 learner’s well-assured self-growth through successful character formation. Forging personal beliefs and sense of values and maturing them for prudence, wise thinking, and sound judgment must be crucial. In contrast to the conventional mode of college EFL education anchored in linguistic and communicative competencies as well as in instrumental and utilitarian orientations, this book challenges the identification of what ""Self-Maturity and Language Maturity (Twin Maturities) ""really mean by drawing on an interdisciplinary research scope (i.e., weighing higher education, character education, foreign language education, ethics, morality, spirituality, public philosophy, etc.). It also introduces relevant teaching methods and classroom-based practice (EFL education) in use at a Japanese university, followed by twin maturities-aimed textbook development.
