授業時間外の学修の内容（その他の内容等）

Every other class we will have a discussion (every two weeks). 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- assignments, for the necessary background information to help you develop an opinion and listening assignments. In listening to a variety of accents, some 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.

Most of your work for the class will be done outside of class, to prepare for the class, especially for the discussions. Please make a copy of the video segments (I will provide the websites) every other week as many times as necessary as you follow the instructions in your homework pages for the Vocabulary, Getting Main Ideas, Listening For Details, Fill In Blanks, Final Details, Internet Research, and Things To Talk About.

Plan to spend a half hour on the homework each week doing the homework.
