授業の概要

The aim of this class is to help students develop their reading skills, with an emphasis on the logical structure of texts. The text contains a wide range of real world topics such as culture, science issues, and travel and adventure. Every week, students read an article about different cultures and have a training to understand written information in a logical and accurate way. Vocabulary test is to be held every week.

科目目的

This course focuses on input: how students understand written information in English.
This involves understanding the meaning of words, phrases, and sentences. Furthermore, it involves understanding how those words, phrases, and sentences fit together to form the overall meaning of paragraphs and longer texts.
As with the companion course Performance Focus for SDGs, readings in the course will be on themes relevant to SDGs.

到達目標

By the end of the course, students will have improved their ability to read texts in a logical, analytical, and comprehensive way. They will have read a variety of types and genres of texts relevant to SDGs, and will understand the meaning of SDGs and their importance in the modern world.
