Description
This presentation introduces a proposed research study examining how outdoor education, when culturally adapted to the Japanese context, can develop soft skills for global communication. By reducing learner anxiety and promoting embodied, task-based language use in nature-rich environments, this model enhances both linguistic competence and emotional resilience. It aligns with peace-oriented pedagogy and supports Japan’s leadership in preparing globally minded professionals, bridging divides between language education, international relations, and business communication.
