概要 Description

This integrated Science and English course develops the core language, skills, and communicative strategies required for success in technical and industrial specialisations. The course combines subject-specific scientific and technological content with focused English language instruction, enabling students to build both technical knowledge and the ability to communicate it effectively.

Technical concepts will be introduced through a range of engaging texts, diagrams, case studies, and practical examples. Students will develop the vocabulary, grammatical structures, and discourse skills necessary for describing processes, explaining systems, interpreting data, and participating in technical discussions. Emphasis will be placed on reading technical materials, understanding spoken explanations, and producing clear, accurate spoken and written communication relevant to industrial contexts.

                                                       
目的 Objectives

Course objectives include:

  • Expanding learners’ technical vocabulary range;

  • Developing learners’ ability to communicate effectively in a variety of technical contexts;

  • Strengthening reading skills for specific academic and professional purposes;

  • Deepening learners’ understanding of science-based concepts through the medium of English.

到達目標 Outcomes

It is expected that students will complete this course:

  • With a well-developed range of oral English communication skills applicable to technical, industrial, and science-based contexts;

  • With an increased ability to apply appropriate grammatical and lexical structures in real-world, practical, and text-based scenarios;

  • With experience in preparing, collaborating on, and completing technical tasks with peers;

  • With an expanded understanding of technical and industrial fields.

履修上の注意 Course notes prerequisites

This course will be taught on-site in the classroom. Learners are expected to utilise and build upon the English skills developed in their first and second years of study. This course would suit students with a TOEIC score of 600 or higher, although this is not a requirement. All communication in this course will be in English. Students are expected to speak with each other and with the teacher in English as much as possible.

More information about course expectations, including attendance policies, will be shared in the first class of the semester.
