授業の目的・方法
/Course Objectives and method
Again, as in the first semester, his course focuses on basic English skills. Students in this class can practice and learn English at their own pace in a relaxed atmosphere. Language is best learned through using it.

This class is open to all students who want to improve their English ability, but especially so for those who are thinking about studying abroad or want to go abroad. ...or who understand that communication English is an important to their future.
Words are power. Logical arguments win the day. Being persuasive is useful everyday skills for any person in any area of society. This course will focus on logical arguments and using them in discussion.
This course is student-centered, and the teacher will use a so-called active learning set up; the focus is on debate and discussion. The teacher will make the content easy enough for any student to participate but challenging enough to make the course useful for improving thinking skills in English.
達成目標
/Course Goals
There are two basic goals: 1. English language skills (speaking, hearing, reading and writing). 2. Critical thinking skills (evaluating new information and developing ones own ideas through discussion and logic). The goal is to improve confidence to participate in a discussion on difficult issues in the society and the world. The course is suited to any student who hopes to go overseas. Also, this course will focus on critical thinking as much as improving English language skills. These are the skills necessary to vote in elections, succeed in a career and be successful in life generally.

/Preparation and review class
*Each week, students will be given an authentic reading (an article or book excerpt) which focuses on the content of the next week's class. They will be expected to consider the article and write an original essay based on their own ideas or values.

For example, preparation for Week Two will include:
a.) Reading an article concerning the Internet and smartphones.
b.) Thinking about this topic and gathering your own ideas from your experience, from the news, or from research about energy.
c.) Writing an original essay.

Review: a.) Keep good class notes of ideas gleaned from your in-class discussions with other students. These will help with tests which will follow in the coming weeks.
b.) Carefully re-read essays returned by the teacher in order to improve writing or deepen your thinking about the topics. Please study the red pen edits, corrections and suggestions.

履修上の注意事項
/Remarks
1. Most of the speaking practice is done in-class. There are no notes you can copy from classmates. Therefore, attendance is vital to improving English and doing well in this class.

2. Depending on whether the students are in the classroom or online, the teacher feedback comes in the form of red-pen edits / suggestions in submitted essays and test papers (or online Word file submissions). It is vital for learning that students check and understand their mistakes.

3. Last year in the first semester, the class was 100% online via Zoom. In the 2nd semester, I conducted a hybrid in-class / Zoom lesson.
I encourage the students to realistically think about the relative risk (high or low) and consider coming to the classroom. According to some students who chose to the classroom, communication and human contact is better in the classroom. I will do the hybrid class for students who want to meet classmates face-to-face.
