授業の概要と方法

【+R-Jugyo】
Information for “+R-Jugyo” will be posted on the “Course News” on manaba+R by April 1. Be sure to check the “Course News” on manaba+R.

Students engage in an active learning process through an integrated approach to reading, listening, speaking, and writing skills. Among these skills, English I focuses particularly on reading skills such as skimming, scanning, summarizing, and being able to read critically. Emphasis is also placed on the grammatical understanding of sentences and vocabulary building. We use the textbook that explores the development of world civilizations. Fascinating actual stories and excellent writings attract readers so they can enjoy learning English reading as well as history. The class will also have student presentations and discussions.
