特別講演会：チュラーロンコーン大学 Sujinat Jitwiriyanont氏

タイのチュラーロンコーン大学よりSujinat Jitwiriyanont氏をお招きし、タイ語話者の英語の発音を「国際語としての英語」の視点から考える講演会を開催します。英語の多様性や発音教育、国際コミュニケーションに関心のある皆様のご参加をお待ちしております。

• 演題： Thai-Accented English through an English as an International Language Lens （国際語としての英語の視点から考えるタイ語話者の英語発音）
• 日時：2026年 11月26日（木）17:30～18:30
• 会場：早稲田大学早稲田キャンパス3号館701教室
• 対象：学生、教職員、一般

• 問い合わせ先：早稲田大学教育・総合科学学術院　教授　木村大輔　[email protected]

講演概要
The lecture will draw on research on the phonetic and phonological characteristics of Thai-accented English and discuss these features from an EIL perspective. Rather than viewing accent differences simply in relation to native-speaker norms, I plan to consider their implications for intelligibility, international communication, and pronunciation teaching. I hope this will also provide a useful basis for discussion and comparison with English language teaching in other contexts represented at the event.
