授業テーマ This course will present everyday English language in various situations and provide students with opportunities to increase their confidence in speaking a foreign language, to add to their vocabulary and to help students approach English in a way that will be useful in daily life. The course will include a variety of weekly topics that encourage students to express their ideas and opinions.
授業のねらい・到達目標 The aim of this class is to help students become comfortable in both speaking and understanding English even if their ability is limited. Part of this goal is to convince the students not to be afraid of making mistakes in speaking within an all-English environment. The classroom, under the tutelage of a native-English instructor, will be a model of such an environment.
授業の方法 The class will be centered on communicative activities that consist of listening exercises and conversation drills. Printed materials will serve as the framework for pair and group work, as well as individual activities. The instructor will function as a coach to motivate students to develop their oral speaking skills.
