The main goals of this class are to improve academic listening and communication skills. Students will study natural English and learn to use English as a communication tool. Participation is vital. A large part of the student's grade will be based on his or her in-class participation. Vocabulary study will also be an important part of the course and students will need to take careful notes in class. This subject focuses on developing the communicative abilities of students in keeping with the imperatives of globalization, (cross-cultural, cross-linguistic, understanding of ethnic and other international issues), based on the principles of the Liberal Arts program at the Tokyo University of Science.

At the end of this course students will be able to listen to short lectures on academic topics, take notes and summarize short lectures in their own words. Speaking: students will gain confidence in their own speaking skills through Q/A with the teacher and other students; will give several short presentations and regularly discuss academic topics with fellow classmates.

Improved listening skills, improved speaking skills (discussion and presentation), and improved critical thinking skills.
