Overall Objectives 1. To increase academic vocabulary and to further the development of vocabulary and vocabulary building skills in general. 2.

授業の形式?方法と履修上の注意 ／Teaching method and Attention the course |
One of the best ways to improve reading skills is to read a lot so students will be provided with many opportunities to improve their reading abilities in class. Students will develop their reading skills in class and they will also do outside reading on their own to promote more autonomous learning. Some of the main academic reading skills developed on the course will include summarizing texts, paraphrasing ideas, analyzing texts, connecting texts to other contexts, vocabulary/grammar developments, researching topics, etc. The course will focus on understanding short stories as well as connecting those stories to other readings (academic readings) and issues relevant to modern Japan. |

Students will spend about 30-40 minutes doing their homework. Students will use short stories from the textbook Discovering Fiction 1 and other extra reading materials. All of the materials will be provided by the teacher. |
