授業の概要Method of Instruction

Ｋ．バークレー sessions will use “Pathways Listening and Speaking (L/S) Split 2A” and 横溝　紳一郎 sessions will use “Pathways Reading and Writing (R/W) Split 2A.”

[Ｋ．バークレー: Pathways L/S Split 2A]
Classes will focus on explicit instruction in and practice of listening skills (such as note-taking, listening for reasons and opinions, and making inferences from context) and speaking skills (including clarifying and rephrasing, and pronunciation), as well as presentation activities based on the topic of each unit.

[横溝　紳一郎: Pathways R/W Split 2A]
Classes will focus on explicit instruction in and practice of reading skills (such as note-taking, identifying main ideas, inference, and prediction), as well as vocabulary-building and writing tasks based on the topic of each unit.

Both L/S and R/W classes will include activities to build academic skills, such as critical thinking and discussion.

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

Use of the free, downloadable content from the publisher is an important component of this review and preview.
