概要　Description
Listening & Speaking is a one-semester required course for first-year students. This course develops listening and speaking fluency through active learning and real-world tasks using Pathways 2 (3rd Edition). In this semester, students will explore topics connected to society and global issues through Unit 1 Healthy Lives, Unit 2 Technology Today and Tomorrow, Unit 3 Culture and Identity, Unit 4 Let's Eat!, and Unit 5 Inside the Brain. Through structured listening cycles, vocabulary building, discussion training, short speaking tasks, and a final research-based group presentation, students will improve clarity, confidence, and communication skills for academic and everyday settings.
目的　Objectives
Classes are taught in English and follow an active learning format. Each lesson includes warm-up speaking, vocabulary preparation, a listening cycle (gist and details), and discussion tasks with clear roles. Students work individually, in pairs, and in groups. Fluency activities (timed speaking, follow-up questions, clarification strategies, and short presentation organization) are practiced regularly. A quiz is given in Week 11, followed by two research and presentation workshop sessions in Weeks 12 and 13, final presentations in Week 14, and course wrap-up in Week 15. Listening Logs are assigned every other week. For each Listening Log, students will listen to an assigned video or audio and submit two short paragraphs: (1) a summary paragraph (main ideas and key details) and (2) a reaction paragraph (personal opinion, connection to society, or one question).

CEFR Target: Aiming for CEFR level B2. Speaking “Can Do” descriptor: can give clear, systematically developed descriptions and presentations, with appropriate highlighting of significant points, and relevant supporting details. Listening “Can Do” descriptor: can understand extended speech and lectures and follow even complex lines of argument provided the topic is reasonably familiar.
到達目標　Outcomes
By the end of the semester, students will be able to:
  1. understand main ideas and key details in spoken English on familiar social and global topics,
  2. share and support opinions in pair and group discussions,
  3. use note-taking, follow-up questions, and clarification strategies during listening and speaking tasks,
  4. use course vocabulary and clearer pronunciation to communicate more effectively, 
  5. collaborate on and deliver a short group presentation based on research.

履修上の注意　Course notes prerequisites
  1. Active participation is required.
  2. Attendance, late arrivals, and absences are monitored throughout the semester according to the following strike system:
    • Arriving on time counts as 0 strikes.
    • A late arrival of up to 20 minutes after the lesson start counts as 0.5 strikes.
    • A late arrival of more than 20 minutes after the lesson start counts as 1 strike.
    • An absence counts as 1 strike.
    • An accumulation of 4 total strikes during the semester results in automatic failure of the course.
  3. Late notes from train stations may be accepted at the instructor's discretion on a limited basis. Students should inform the instructor as soon as possible.
  4. In cases of absence due to an exceptional situation (e.g., hospitalization or a very serious condition), official certificates and documentation must be submitted through the university office. Only these officially documented absences may be regarded as excusable absences when calculating total attendance at the end of the semester.
  5. Bring your textbook, notebook, and writing tools each week.
  6. Use English as much as possible and prepare regularly for quizzes and the final presentation.
