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 your reading skills is to read a lot so students will be provided with many opportunities to improve their reading abilities in class. Students will also conduct extra reading and research outside of class for each unit. This course will focus more on academic English rather than the short stories covered in Reading Skills III. 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, engaging with authentic texts etc. |
