授業の形式?方法と履修上の注意 ／Teaching method and Attention the course |
This course is held face-to-face on campus, unless conditions require that we switch to on-line learning. The course follows a pattern of introductory work on pre-reading and vocabulary development before any reading assignment, overview and discussion of text, group/pair/individual work and interactive activities related to the reading and/or audio visual lessons to extend the assigned reading and activate use of the vocabulary/subject matter associated with the reading. The course is conducted as a mixture of seminar-style lecture/discussion and interactive reading exchange opportunities. Detailed feedback is given on assignments and quizzes are gone over to confirm answers. |
