Asian Dimension of English
The Lord Watson of Richmond, CBE
Chairman, International Council of the English-Speaking Union

On the occasion of his trip to Korea for the founding of ESU Korea in mid-April, Lord Watson of Richmond will be visiting Japan in his capacity as Chairman of the International Council of the English-Speaking Union, of which ESUJ is also a member. ESUJ together with Keio University are co-hosting a special lecture at this time by Lord Watson.

Lord Watson is presently a member of the British House of Lords and, as Chairman of Burson-Marsteller Europe, a prominent figure in the world of advertising and publicity. A former presenter of prominent BBC programmes such as Panorama, he is one of Britain's most eminent speakers. A chance to hear him speak on the Asian dimension of English is a not-to-be-missed opportunity for Japanese interested in the English language.

Please make plans to be present on this occasion, along with members of your family and friends.
