受講および研究に関するアドバイス

1. Come to class prepared with your textbook and any additional materials each day. Before coming to class, research any English you do not know, and write down any questions you have.
2. Each day there will be an initial and final speaking activity. You may be asked to speak, so be prepared to do so in every class.
3. If your instructor asks a question or confirms whether students are following along, do not stay silent – answer the question, or respond with “yes” or “no.”
4. When your instructor asks you a question, respond within 3 seconds.
5. If you do not understand something, ask a question – your classmates may have the same question.
6. We are all learning – ask your classmates for help, and help your classmates when you can.
