① [対面]対面授業/ [On-site] On-site class

This course spans over thirty classes.

In this class, students will listen to short lectures about simple academic topics and will have to submit assignments on line about the lectures. They will also have to participate in discussions and co-operate with other students in order to prepare for group presentations.

Topics will be simple academic topics in the sciences, social sciences and arts. Many of these discussions will be in pairs and groups of three. Vocabulary study is also important. Students
must take careful notes of all vocabulary items and be able to explain the meaning of simple
words in English.

Each lesson will involve individual, pair then group-work discussion based on the reading &
listening activities leading to group presentations and debates based on the themes studied.

Speaking in English is a major part of this course.

# Remember to check LETUS often.

The primary objectives of this course are to improve students’ communicative competence by
way of reading, listening, discussion and group presentation. Each unit spans over two classes. The first class, "the comprehensive phase", deals with the vocabulary, reading & listening comprehension activities necessary to acquire a good grasp of the themes. The second class, "task", bring the students to cross-discuss, present & demonstrate how much they have learned.　.

Fluency in a language requires practice. Practice is vital.
In this class you need to speak English.

At the end of this course students should be able to :
- give a full presentation in English
- engage in and lead academic discussions
- ask & answer questions with details
- take notes down and summarize a lecture or reading passage
- give/support/refute an opinion and participate in debates
- understand and explain vocabulary items

Special notes
While the teacher is aware that students are busy and that this class is only one out of many
the students are taking, classroom participation and the external research on topics for presentation assignments will be a large percentage of the final grade. Non-responsive behavior during pair or group activities is disrespectful and demotivating to other students, and will hurt the final grade severely for non-responsive or non-cooperative students.
