【講義概要】
This course attempts to integrate the reading skill together with speaking and listening skills. Texts used in this course tend to be
"soft" reading materials like children's literature, including stories and poems. One aim of the course is to break down the wall of the
printed page and make units of meaning more accessible. Each teacher will choose different materials, but all have that common aim
of bringing reading closer to a decoding act in which the dynamism of the spoken word is sensed behind the dots, marks, and lines on
the page. As the class is taught in English, the aim of understanding the written word is not to lay it to rest in Japanese translation, but
to use that understanding as a springboard for communicative activities in English.
【学習到達目標】
By the end of this class students will be able to read a two or three page story in less than twenty minutes and grasp the mail points without
using a dictionary. .
【履修上の注意】
Continued in-class participation is very important. Students will be expected to keep up with class reading and regularly submit targeted writing assignments. Outside classwork and diligent research will also be expected.
