オーラル・コミュニケーション１

授業テーマ	Students will gain confidence in their ability to understand and express themselves on a variety of topics in English.
授業のねらい・到達目標	This course is designed to promote students’ strategic competence and oral presentation skills. Strategic competence means the students will gain mastery of language strategies to make up for a deficit, which will lead to control in communicative situations. Confirming information, showing interest, and maintaining and developing conversations are some of the strategies which will be included. Situations relevant to the students’ lives like describing hometowns, dealing with large numbers and storytelling will be covered.Oral presentation skills will include the three Vs: visual message, vocal message and verbal message.
授業の方法	Each language strategy will be taught through progressing from listening for the gist and details, reviewing new words and expressions, memorizing conversations which utilize short-term memory and building longer conversational discourses.The oral presentation skills will focus on how to organize the content of the speech: introduction, body and conclusion, and how to create a message that the audience understands, remembers and is inspired by. The paralinguistic features of vocal control, posture, gestures, facial expressions and eye contact will also be emphasized.
