【講義概要】
This reading course builds on 205 Reading (from the spring semester), and is designed to give students a large quantity of English reading practice, both inside and outside of the classroom. This will be achieved through a variety of extensive reading, with student-centred discussions and activities also being utilised to develop vocabulary and critical thinking skills.
This course is taught entirely in English.
This syllabus is subject to change at the instructor's discretion.
【学習到達目標】
The aims of this course are to increase students’ knowledge and confidence in their English reading ability, focusing on aspects such as vocabulary, reading assignments, and critical thinking about interesting and relevant societal topics.
【履修上の注意】
This course requires regular attendance and active participation, as well as time outside of class that is dedicated to reading.
In the event of online (non-face-to-face) classes, lessons will be conducted using a combination of software, such as Microsoft Teams.
【事前準備学習】
Students must be fully prepared for class each week, which includes completing all homework assignments on time. This is particularly important in this course because there is a large group-work component, which means that other students will be relying on your effort and input.
