Description
岡山大学では，研究大学にふさわしい英語教育を行うことを目的とします。英語力の向上を図るとともに，学術分野や仕事、社会で実践的に活用できる深い知識の習得と，批判的及び創造的な思考力，そしてそれらの発信力の育成を目標にします。
必修授業に加え、本外国語部門ではさらに高度な英語力を磨くことを臨む学生や副専攻コースの学生に向けて、選択授業としてより「上級英語」の授業も提供しています。また、グローバル人材育成カリキュラムの一環として、アカデミック英語を学ぶための特別コース（SPAcE）も提供しています。
The Department of Foreign Languages (English) was established in 2003 (formerly: the Language Education Center, English Department). The largest role of the English department is to teach required English courses for all first- and second-year students at Okayama University. The main goal of the program is to develop students’ practical and academic English proficiency. The mission statement is as follows:
As a research university, the overall objective of English education at Okayama University is to foster students’ ability to fulfill their academic, professional, and social needs. Along with improving students’ English proficiency, we aim to develop their critical and creative thinking skills; their ability to acquire information and in-depth knowledge applicable to their academic field and society; and their ability to express themselves effectively.
In addition to the required courses, ‘advanced’ courses are offered as electives for students who want to further refine their English proficiency. Full-time faculty also teach Graduate Courses and in the Special Program for Academic English (SPAcE), which is a part of the Global Human Resource Development Program (Global Jinzai).
