「世界の英語」モジュール・プロジェクトのウェブサイトは、学習者あるいは言語好きな人々に、多様な英語に見られる違いを発見させる素晴らしい機会を与える教材です。矢頭典枝先生をはじめとするウェブ技術者、出演者、研究者のチームは、できるだけ自然な会話で、かなり現実に即した短いドラマ形式のシーンをつくりました。学習者はもちろんそれらを真似てもいいし、それらから学ぶだけでなく、演技を楽しむこともできます。われわれはこれらの会話モジュールを皆様に提供することを喜んでおり、世界中の言語好きな人々に感銘を与えることを願っています。どうぞ楽しんでください。

These dialogs from the World Englishes Project provide a unique opportunity for students and other lovers of language to discover the differences that exist among the national varieties of the language.
Professor Norie Yazu and her team of technicians, actors and academics have provided small dramatic scenes that are relatively realistic with dialog that is as natural as it can possibly be.
And students of course can emulate that, learn from it and enjoy the performance of it as well. We are very pleased to present these dialogs and hope that they make an impression on lovers of language everywhere. Enjoy.
