Abstract

Amid the global revolution of information technology (IT), the role of Japan's English writing education has substantially shifted its mission to how to nurture Japanese college students' thinking skills focused on Western logic, rather than conventional logic-missing composition instructions. Meanwhile, such students' critical thinking and logical explanation skills have apparently been lowered, posing a serious social issue as a result. A solution would be an introduction of newly-designed English writing course emphasizing visualized thinking processes, since this approach can be effective in nurturing each student's consistent logical development and insightful thoughts both indispensable for Western-eyed practical communications.
