経営学における言語監査の役割:人的資源管理の観点から

抄録

This paper aims to discuss corporate English policy and human development under the theoretical framework of linguistic auditing. Under the modern-day business environment, companies are dedicated to developing global human resources. It goes without saying that English is a requisite communication tool in the global business environment and establishing a sustainable strategy to improve employees’ English is a challenge. A lasting English environment requires linguistic auditing based on the PDCA cycle. Furthermore, when the company is striving to globalize, linguistic auditing prevents employees from being subject to disparity when the language spoken amongst members and the official language differs from their own native language. In short, linguistic auditing is a new approach for human resource management.
