コンテンツのデザイン支援技術による社会貢献を目指して

Transactions of the Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence, 2006

We held the third meeting at the 19th Annual Conference of JSAI in the series of near-future challenge of Establishing Case-Based Design Support and Assessment Framework. In this Research Notes, following the presentations and discussions made at the meeting, we investigate how we bridge the gap between our design support technology and the contributions to public. We first discuss design support technology for contributing to society development in general, and, then, apply a brief case study to a picture generation system, regarding community support as a contribution to society development. Finally, we briefly mention future work and present "call for participants" for our next session in 2006.

Educating Human Beings in the Contemporary Society through ELT : A Socio-philosophical Analysis

2009

The twofold purpose of this paper is to clarify the concept of human beings and to contrast the difference between aim and objective, or goal and end from the viewpoint of English Language Teaching. The analysis is conducted through the frameworks of social philosophies, particularly those by Arendt, Habermas, Luhmann, Negri and Hardt. The paper argues that the aim/goal of English Language Teaching in this global society is to develop plurilingual abilities to continue communication, appreciating and utilizing differences that communication assumes and produces. The paper also pointed out that the descriptions in Japanese ELT discourse are individualistic and technocratic and neglect the social and political dimensions of language teaching
