① [対面]対面授業/ [On-site] On-site class

The main objectives of this class are to continue to improve listening and communication skills. You should continue to:
- learn to listen and comprehend naturally spoken English
- practice discussing easy academic topics focused on the social and hard sciences
- practice giving simple presentations based on our discussions from the textbook themes
Vocabulary is also important. We must take careful notes of all vocabulary items and be able to explain the meaning of simple words in English.

The main objectives of this class are to continue with the improvement of academic listening and communication skills. Students will continue to:
- learn to listen and comprehend naturally spoken English
- practice discussing easy academic topics
- practice giving simple presentations about easy academic topics

Vocabulary will continue to be important. Students must take careful notes of all vocabulary items and be able to explain the meaning of simple words in English.　

While we will continue to use a textbook in this class, some content will be up on LETUS each week. So you have to check LETUS each week as well. We will also use LETUS to upload any homework and assignments and to grade your presentations.

Over this semester, we will continue to aim to:
-discuss textbook topics that we can and build our knowledge through such discussions
-prepare and deliver short presentations on topics related to the textbook themes

While we will continue to use the textbook in this class, some content will be up on LETUS each week, as in L&S 1a. So you have to continue checking LETUS each week as well. We will continue to use LETUS to upload any homework and assignments and to grade your presentations.

As with L&S Ia, students will need a pencil and paper. A dictionary would also be useful. Students will need to take notes during the class.

Instructions for preparation and review will be given in each class. While I will continue to try and keep homework to a minimum, you should still be ready to try out your discussion in English in classes. 1-2 hours for review of theme and topic content will help you to prepare for the classes.

Active class participation: 20%
Mini-presentations 5-8: 20% average
Mid-term presentation: 30%
Final presentation: 30%

About feedback for presentations
As with L&S 1a, it will be difficult for me to give individual comments to you for the mid-term and final presentations because of the size of the classes. Therefore, before your presentations, I will still give a detailed guide in Japanese and English in a presentation rubric that will give you an idea of what to prepare for and what your goal should be when you present.

After the presentations, I will continue to give generalized comments on things I see and hear in the presentations for quality of the content, the speaking, and connection with those you will present to (such as in eye contact, generation of interest in your topic, and Q&A after the presentations). I will also give suggestions and tips on how presentation preparation quality and speaking can be improved wherever I have seen and heard things that need improvement. (As with L&S 1a, I will not name individual students for any errors or anything else lacking in presentation work).

As before, there is no special education software we will use other than LETUS.

As in the first semester L&S Ia, fluency in a language requires practice. Practice is important, and in this class, you will still need to speak English.
