授業の到達目標Objectives to be Attained

In this class students will practice using English in reading, writing, listening and speaking. The class will be conducted entirely in English. Students will increase their ability to understand and produce English on the covered topics of life situations, jobs, hometowns, innovation, travel and exercise. Students will engage in activities to increase their creativity and critical thinking skills.

授業の概要Method of Instruction

Using the textbook, Life (National Geographic), students will learn vocabulary for each of the chapters. They will watch videos and listen to interviews and conversations on the topic of each chapter as well as read articles. This will help them understand the topic enough to begin speaking about it and expressing their own opinions. Listening and readings in class will be done with an eye toward leading to productive pair, group, or whole-class discussions of topics. Students will also increase their vocabulary by using the Anki app during the semester, and they will encounter this vocabulary frequently in the text.

事前・事後学習、時間等Study Required outside Class(Preparation, etc.)

Students will be given lists of words to study before each unit.
