① [対面]対面授業/ [On-site] On-site class

The main goals of this class are to continue improving academic listening and communication skills through naturally spoken English from the first semester, with further practice of discussing easy academic topics and giving simple presentations about topics in the hard sciences, social sciences, and humanities.

The main objectives of this class are to continue with improvement of academic  listening and communication skills. Students will continue to:
- learn to listen and comprehend naturally spoken English
- practice discussing easy academic topics
- practice giving simple presentations about easy academic topics

Vocabulary will continue to be important. Students must take careful notes of all vocabulary items and be able to explain the meaning of simple words in English.　

While we will continue to use a textbook in this class, some content will be up on LETUS each week. So you have to check LETUS each week as well. We will also use LETUS to upload any homework and assignments and to grade your presentations.

Over the course of the year, students will continue to aim for:
-discussing academic topics within their reach and extend their knowledge through such discussions
-preparing and delivering presentations on topics related to the discussion themes
