The study explores the need for raising students' global literacy which includes inter/cross-cultural competence with transcultural and transnational perspectives. It also sees communicative competence in EIL as necessary in order to have a global and peaceful dialogue with people of the world. An ultimate purpose of this program is to integrate global human issues into EIL education as a pan of global education at Konan University in Kobe, Japan, involving 200 Japanese University students. These trial and error experiments provide evidence for the merits of the acquisition of cognitive, affective, social and linguistic skills in EIL and the knowledge leading to local and global action with global perspectives. Cultivating global literacy through EIL education is an invitation to be challenged and enlightened and all language instructors and students are invited.}, pages = {1--24}, title = {Global Literacy as a New Paradigm for EIL Education : Integrating Global Issues into EIL Speech Communication Class}, volume = {7}, year = {2003}, yomi = {ナカムラ, コウジ} }
