On Monday, June 16, we were honored to welcome Inaba-sensei from Chinzei Gakuin High School as a guest speaker in the \u201c\u82f1\u8a9e\u306e\u3057\u304f\u307f\u201d (Structure of English) class at Nagasaki Wesleyan University.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Her lecture, titled \u201cLearning English Through the Bible,\u201d explored the deep and fascinating connections between language, religion, and culture. Students learned how English vocabulary has been shaped by religious history and how Christian ideas have influenced the English language.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Inaba-sensei introduced the etymology and cultural background of several common words such as “scapegoat,”  “holiday,” “talent,” “goodbye,” and “carnival.”<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Each of these words, she explained, has roots in religious traditions, some going back to the Bible and others to Christian rituals and festivals.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The session was not only informative but also thought-provoking, encouraging students to reflect on how language carries history and belief systems within it.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
We sincerely thank Inaba-sensei for her inspiring and meaningful contribution to our class.<\/span><\/div>\n
