概要 Description
In this course, students will improve their communicative English skills through listening and discussion of a range of general and academic topics. Topics covered this semester will include work, space, creative arts, natural science and technology. Students will be expected to actively participate with other students in English, in pair and group discussion activities throughout the course, in order to practice their speaking and listening skills, and also to improve their general communicative skills. Students will be asked to display their communication skills in practice by completing 2 tasks throughout the semester. In the class you also learn and practice using language for giving presentations. Each student will give an individual presentation in each semester.
目的 Objectives

Furthermore, students will be able to negotiate meaning and be able to deal with communication breakdown (non-understanding and misunderstandings) as it happens in communication. Students will gain greater confidence and ability in expressing themselves, and in understanding others in spoken communication. Students will also develop skills for giving presentations in English.

1. improve their listening comprehension
2. improve their spoken fluency

履修上の注意 Course notes prerequisites
You are required to take the TOEIC test during each semester (July and December) and your TOEIC score each semester will factor into your class grade. Regular attendance is very important. If you are absent 5 or more times throughout the semester, you will receive an incomplete (-) as your final grade.

準備学習・復習 Preparation and review
Each Task is worth 20% of your grade. In many tasks other members of your class will rely on you to be present in pair and group tasks, so it is extremely important that you are not absent for these lessons. If you are absent for any of the classes where there is a task, or for your presentation, you will be permitted to take an additional make up task, or give your presentation, in Lesson 14, if you have a legitimate reason for absence supported by a relevant document. If you do not have a legitimate excuse and relevant document, you will receive a score of 0 for the task or presentation.
