授業概要 This course aims at enhancing students’ communication ability. Students achieve this goal through weekly activities related to listening and pre-made conversations. Language components are speaking, vocabulary acquisition and active listening. The course also involves techniques of basic TOEIC skills and short speechmaking.

The course uses pre-recorded materials for students to simulate conversations and, later on, customize the language patterns at hand. Speech practices mirror the themes of the textbook. They are followed by Q&A sessions to maximize language interaction and to further expand the target skills that are being studied.
授業のねらい・到達目標 At the end of the term, students will have the ability:
1) to formulate questions and to give answers in English correctly (A-6-1);
2) to start and hold conversation in English with appropriate vocabulary (A-2-1);
3) to introduce themselves with confidence (A-2-1);
4) to understand a little more clearly what is being said (A-3-1);
5) to give short, yet structured speeches with an opening part, a development section and a closing part (A-6-1).

この科目は文理学部のDP及びCPの2, 3, 6 に対応している。
授業の方法 (演習)
Class sessions proceed as follows: 1) Brief review of the previous language pattern; 2) Vocabulary-building activity; and 3) Study of the scheduled target skill. Each new unit starts with a quick quiz taken from listening sections of that unit. Students who are attending the class off-campus are required to do the quick quiz at the same time as those on campus. They are also expected to complete assignments that are designed for such cases through the school’s Blackboard.

Feedback for short quizzes and assignments is done during class sessions as part of the review. Feedback for short speeches is given in form of peer evaluation and individually by the instructor. Hand-written assignments are handed back to students in the next class session after being checked by the instructor.

Units of the textbook are completed within one class session. Students spend up to two hours, weekly, for previewing upcoming lessons and reviewing previous ones.
