| 授業の目的・方法 ／Course Objectives and method |
Objectives: This course is an intermediate reading class. The objective is to increase the students’ ability to read and understand written materials in the English language. A lot of written material is delivered in short but dense written style, so this course will focus on written samples that are short and dense. This will help prepare students to pass the Eiken level pre-1 test as well as prepare them to read research paper abstracts, newspaper articles, and e-mail correspondence. Method: The class will be conducted in the classroom unless otherwise notified. There may be up to four classes held on-demand or on Zoom, but you can assume the class is in the classroom unless otherwise notified. Students will be expected to participate orally in small group discussions as well in writing on forums. Interacting with other students through the medium of the English languages is part of this class and will count towards the final grade. |
