学習者のみなさんへ

地図を見るのは楽しいものです。ひょっとすると、「ナビ」(navigation)（経路案内）という言葉のほうが馴染みのある人もいると思いますが、1 日に 1 回は地図をどこかで見ているでしょう。地図を題材として、英語を使って、世界の事情を、学び、考え、話し合ってみよう、というのが、本テキストの趣旨です。

CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) とは、ヨーロッパで普及している理科や社会などの科目内容と言語を統合した学習のことです。ふつうの英語の授業と少し違う目的で授業に取り組んでください。目的は次の 3 点です。

• 地図を通して世界の地理や歴史を英語で理解する• 様々な地域 (area) の事情について英語でコミュニケーションできる• クラスの人といっしょに自律的に学ぶ力を培う
この３つの目的のもと学習する上では次の４つの C をいつも心がけましょう。

Content̶ 地図の見方、地域の歴史、地理、事情などの知識力

Communication ̶ 上記の話題に関する英語コミュニケーション能力
Cognition

̶ 世界について関心を持ち、発展的に考える思考力

Culture̶ 学習する環境に順応した文化間理解力

英語という言語のことばかり考えていても英語は上達しません。英語は道具です。このテキストで扱う世界の言語は多様です。現地に行けば現地の言葉が重要です。しかし、英語はその中でも最も便利な言葉です。このテキストを題材とし様々な地域のことを考え、興味ある国があればぜひ訪れてください。
各 Area の構成は次のようになっています。

• Chat in pairs

̶ 各地域の地図を見て、おしゃべりする• Listen carefully̶ この地域に関連した音声を聞いて考える• Talk in pairs

̶ 写真を見て、具体的に話して、何を学ぶか考える• Explore̶ その地域の話題を読んで、話し合って、関心を持つ• Research̶ 興味のある地域を知り、調べる• Read up

̶ さらに読んで、地域理解を深め、情報を共有する• Understand the background ̶ 歴史的な背景を理解する
あまりむずかしく考えず、「学ぶ」ことを楽しんでください。

Explore EuropeSweets and the House of Habsburg

CD1-2

The House of Habsburg
in Vienna was chosen for
the Emperor of the Holy
Roman Empire in the 13 th5century, and maintained
political power until the 20thcentury. Their influence was
not limited to political issues,
but also extended into other

10areas, including sweets.

The territories of the House of Habsburg in 1547

Life was very hard then, and sweets provided a small joy to men who werebusy with war and politics, and women who were forced to marry for politicalreasons. A famous example is Marie-Antoinette, who was forced to marry LouisXVI, the King of France, and was guillotined during the French Revolution. The
15

sweet called “Kugelhopf” was her favorite.
Elisabeth A. Eugenie known as Sisi is also famous for her love for sweets. She
married Franz Joseph I of Habsburg at the age of 16, during the 19th century.
However, she often escaped hard life at the palace to travel around Europe,
visited cafés and enjoyed delicious sweets. Her favorites were sugarcoated violets

20and various kinds of tortes.

The European Union

CD1-3

During both World War I and II, Europeancountries fought each other to expand theirterritories. Even after these wars, they weredivided by the Cold War. In an effort to unite
5

the countries, the European Union was created in 1993. The original members
included 12 countries, such as Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Germany,France, and Italy. The European Union, also called the “EU,” was established tobring peace and promote economic development in Europe.
People, commodities, and money are now able to easily travel among European

10

countries because they can avoid complicated formal steps and papers. Furthermore,
after about thirty years, the EU has become a powerful organization both economicallyand politically. In terms of their GDP, the EU was ranked second after the US in 2020,
exceeding China, and has also created unified diplomatic and security policies.
However, it has been very difficult to unite all member states because economic

15

growth and development has varied in each country since the beginning. Forexample, when Germany and the UK had a strong economy in the 2010s, many
immigrants flooded to these countries. This was considered one of the main
reasons for Brexit in 2020. Brexit is an abbreviation of two words: “Britain” and“exit”. In 2022, half of the UK people thought it was wrong to leave the EU.

20

Another challenge is that the EU countries are culturally very different. Whilesome of the EU countries are afraid that the tight EU control will cause them to lose
their identity, Turkey has been delayed in becoming a member because of possible
friction between the Islamic and Christian cultures. The membership problem also
worsened after an attempted coup in 2016, with issues over freedom of expression.

25

To become a member of the EU, democracy is an important issue to be considered.
Ask your classmates

1. What are the goals of the EU?
2. What happens easily among the EU countries?
3. Why has Turkey been delayed in becoming a member state?
