Abstract

GyutoE, a network-based learning system to be used in Nagoya University English classes, would ideally function as a means to prevent the English ability of freshmen and sophomores from deteriorating, despite assurances that the material will noticeably improve the learners’ abilities. Students may fail to achieve their linguistic goals when material of the same level is assigned to all students without regard to differences in competence and the different departments to which they belong. Uniform assignments will probably reduce the significance of the new English curriculum, where learning proceeds in a step-by-step basis. As for the video-conferencing and collaborative work classes, which are planned for advanced students in the new course, distantly located students will use internet communication tools to participate in presentations, dialogues, and debates for the purposes of language development and cultural awareness. An example of this class by four Nagoya University sophomores suggests that interactions within the group and expectations for a new solidarity with students from different social and cultural backgrounds can provide opportunities to assimilate conflicting ideas and divergent opinions into their learning process. These types of classes may even provoke changes in the students' sociolinguistic competence.
