Department of Humanities and Culture English-American Culture Course

Now, in the world, there is a movement to go beyond the use of language and culture to become one, and a movement to recognize each other's use and cherish each culture. English plays a big role in both.

The English-American Culture Course trains international people who use English to learn about different cultures and have a broad perspective and a rich international sense. Learning and knowing a foreign language and culture also leads to a re-examination of your own language and culture.
