① [対面]対面授業/ [On-site] On-site class

This class will help students improve their English listening and speaking skills. While all of the four skills – listening, speaking, reading and writing – will come into play throughout the class, particular emphasis is placed on listening and speaking.

Students will become better listeners and speakers for general meaning and detail. They will increase their vocabulary, learn to speak more fluently, and understand the nuances of grammar in conversation.

In addition to the above objectives, we will work to develop students’ communicative abilities in English. We will also address important aspects of culture, such as the various values at play, as we work towards cultivating more nuanced global perspectives.

By the end of the class students will have a wider English vocabulary, be better at expressing themselves orally, and will have a more thorough understanding of grammar in the context of conversational English.

Materials should be obtained as soon as possible. This includes a new and unused 2026 edition textbook and an English language dictionary.

Students should attend class, complete the assignments to the best of their ability, and submit their assignments as instructed prior to any deadline. The completed assignments should show a satisfactory level of engagement with, and understanding of, the material. A high level of effort is expected of students.

Any student who has 4 or more unexcused absences within a semester cannot pass the class, and will not receive credit.

Two delays [within 20 minutes] add up to one absence. If you have an official reason to be absent, you need to submit a document.

Students should complete assignments, submit them on time, and review the material in preparation for each class. Students are expected to learn the necessary vocabulary, retain the information covered in the readings, and adequately and fully complete the assignments.

TOEIC-IP: 30%
Points for classwork (class assignments): 70%

The assignments will come from the textbook for the class. There are a variety of assignments, including reading comprehension tasks, practice in applying the critical thinking techniques we cover, short answer tasks, and tasks that call for open ended and creative responses to problems. In short, the assignments will allow students to explore, and practice, thinking critically in English.

Except for the 1st class, each class students will be able to earn 5 class points.
In the 1st class there will be no points given. We will cover the syllabus in the 1st class.
Class points will be given starting in the 2nd class.
There are 15 classes total (1 introductory class, and 14 regular classes).
(14 regular classes x 5 class points = 70 class points total for the semester)

To earn their 5 classroom points students have to submit their completed assignments on time. Assignments must demonstrate a satisfactory level of understanding, engagement, and effort. Assignment must also be submitted in accordance with the instructions set out by the instructor. (5 class points × 14 classes = 70 classroom points)

The 70 class points + the student's TOEIC-IP score = 100 points.

NOTE: 4th year students do no have to take the TOEIC, so their score will be calculated from only the class points.

Any student who has 4 or more unexcused absences within a semester cannot pass the class, and will not receive credit.

Two delays [within 20 minutes] add up to one absence. If you have an official reason to be absent, you need to submit a document.
