授業の形式?方法と履修上の注意 /Teaching method and Attention the course |
This class will be conducted entirely in English. There are two main sections to the class. The first involves an extensive reading project which includes communicative activities related to the readings. (The extensive readings can be English novels selected by the students or from graded readers that can be provided through the school library, or the teacher.) There will also be a short presentation based on the extensive reading project at the end of the term. The second section of the class introduces a variety of civics-based topics that are discussed after the students are given time to research and prepare written essays discussing their views of the issues. Classes are planned to be face to face from the first session, so please attend class on the first day in the classroom. |
