授業の概要

Students will learn about a different country every other class through readings, videos and discussion. They will then conduct some basic research into a topic that was not covered in the textbook and lead a discussion in a small group the following week. Starting with Australia, there will be 6 countries in all covered in the textbook. Students will read and watch a video in class with the teacher leading the discussion and giving advice and direction in English.

Every other week, each student will do some short research and prepare a discussion for a group. Regular practice in asking questions, creating content questions and leading a discussion will provide substantial experience in English. Individual topics will be chosen by the students according to their own interests.

Students will practice phonemes in English that do not appear in their native language such as "f" and "th". Regular short practice will be held at the beginning of each class as a warm up.

Students are encouraged to read up or watch the videos on their own to prepare for the class.

Students will have learned research techniques such as brainstorming, summarizing, key word searches and more. They will have learned about the nuts and bolts of contemporary platforms such as WORD, Google and file sharing.

授業時間外の学修の内容

その他

授業時間外の学修の内容（その他の内容等）

Most of class time will be reviewing your homework assignments, which are based on the textbook chapters and videos.

Every other class will include a group discussion. This is for you to develop your opinion and perhaps to debate or at least to compare opinions with other students in your group. Every other week you will also have internet-assignment, for the necessary background information to help you develop an opinion. In listening to a variety of accents, particularly from people whose native language is not English, you will first learn to get the general meaning of spoken English, though you may not understand every word.

The outside class assignment is in preparation for class time. The best way to improve your ability is to complete the assignments well before the class date and use the class time for review of what you have already prepared. You will use the time researching and reading an article. Then you will prepare questions for discussion. This does not take much time, but does require thinking time for creating the best questions and discussion topics.
