概要　Description
This course is aimed at students who need to use and improve their English in order to succeed in higher education. It is an integrated skills course, meaning that learners will develop their reading, writing, listening, and speaking abilities within an academic context. As participants come from a range of scientific disciplines, the course approach is flexible, incorporating themes that are both relevant and engaging across subject areas while also connecting to students’ specific fields of study. It focuses on language and skills that support academic research and study in all fields. In addition, certain components of the course help learners develop abilities that are directly relevant to their particular area of study.
目的　Objectives

The objectives of this course are to:

  • Help students communicate their research and study interests more effectively in English;

  • Provide students with academic, technical, and science-based terminology input;

  • Develop students’ control of linguistic structures commonly used in technical and scientific discourse;

  • Strengthen students’ ability to understand and critically engage with academic work in English;

  • Provide opportunities for students to share and present their research in English.

到達目標　Outcomes

By the end of the course, students will be able to:

  • Articulate their research and study interests more effectively in English;

  • Access and accurately use a broad range of academic, technical, and science-based vocabulary with greater fluency;

  • Employ a wider variety of linguistic structures commonly used in academic, technical, and scientific discourse;

  • Demonstrate an enhanced ability to comprehend and critically engage with academic materials in English;

  • Present and discuss research with greater confidence and proficiency in English.

卒業認定・学位授与の方針との関係（学部科目のみ）
履修上の注意　Course notes prerequisites

Students should be willing and interested in sharing their ongoing research with fellow class members, as well as be open to learning about their peers' different areas of study. This course will be taught entirely in English, with students expected to communicate with each other and with the teacher in English. Therefore, students must have a strong working knowledge of English and be able to confidently make use of the practical skills they already possess. Students are advised to have a TOEIC score between 550 and 780 in order to take this class comfortably, although this is not a requirement. It is also hoped that students will have a target or goal in mind with regard to English use in their research.

More information about expectations for students taking this course, such as attendance policies, will be shared in the first class of the semester.
