① [対面]対面授業/ [On-site] On-site class

This course is a practical. Lessons will concentrate on comprehension of educational media (spoken, audio-visual), note-taking, creation of oral and written summaries and presentations (slideshows and other audio-visual materials), and oral and written analysis and commentary related to the materials studied. Students will develop the ability to comprehend short interviews and lectures, take notes on them, make written and oral summaries of them, and finally comment on them. Grammar and language skills will be reviewed as necessary. Depending on the collective aptitude of the class, progress of the course program may be affected. Authentic materials such as speeches and films will also be studied, with material selected according to the abilities of the students. Coursework assignments will be graded, and feedback will be provided collectively or individually. Feedback will be given through quiz and test results and comments from the teacher during classes.

The purpose is to offer students opportunities to practice presenting their ideas and interacting with English-speaking people both in oral and written forms in various academic settings.  In this course, students will practice listening and note-taking using short lectures on academic topics or other materials (documentaries, interviews, news reports) as source material. This activity aims to prepare students for study in an English-speaking college or university environment. Through these exercises students should deepen their knowledge of the vocabulary and grammar necessary in academic settings. This practice will also help students make progress in the Listening and Speaking sections of TOEFL.

Students can understand short and clearly structured lectures on academic topics and take good notes on them.
Students can get involved in interactions in academic settings.
Students can understand and use the basic vocabulary and grammar frequently used in academic settings.

Regular attendance and active participation are expected in this course. Students are expected to arrive on time, attend all classes, and complete all required coursework.

Because a significant portion of the course consists of in-class activities, discussions, and assessments, late arrival, absence, or lack of preparation may result in missed learning opportunities and incomplete work. This may make it difficult to meet the course objectives and successfully complete the required evaluations.
