授業の概要・ねらい /Course Aims |
This course focuses on developing students’ confidence and ability to speak English in public and interactive settings. Through guided practice, students will improve their pronunciation, fluency, and ability to express ideas clearly when speaking to others. Class activities include short presentations, group discussions, interviews, and reflection tasks based on tourism, culture, and everyday communication in Japan and other countries. Students will practice explaining ideas, sharing opinions, and responding to questions in English in a supportive environment. By the end of the course, students will be better prepared to use English for presentations, conversations with international visitors, and communication in academic or professional situations. |

授業時間外学修(予習・復習等)の内容 /students learning outside of the class, preparation and review are included |
Out-of-Class Study: Watching effective examples of presentations and communication techniques online outside of class is recommended to develop understanding of good practice in public speaking. Practice of spoken and nonverbal communication is necessary. Taking notes during class, then reflecting on class activities, topics, and techniques is highly recommend. Writing out such reflections may be useful to deepen one’s understanding of the topic. Using a video recorder to record presentation practice and watch to find areas of improvement can be very helpful. Asking others to watch you practice and give feedback may also be helpful. All students will develop learning plans focused on quality time outside of class for language input and output. Further details will be given in class. | ||||
