授業の概要と方法

The aim of English for International Studies is to develop a high-level command of English,
which will allow students to deepen their knowledge of international relations. In EIS IV,
students engage in an active learning process through an integrated approach to the four skills
using materials related to international relations with particular focus on language output skills
in a multicultural context. They will learn academic writing skills with APA style and possibly write literature reviews, research proposals, reports and papers. Formative evaluation is performed through in-class writings and two or more of the above documents, based on a rubric that targets writing skills in part.

*The language of teaching, and learning in this course will be English, and students must make an effort to use English to communicate both with the instructor and other students. Class attendance and active participation in in-class pair work/group work are paramount towards students’ success and final grade in this course.*

成績評価方法(備考)

Students shall be required to do at least 1 hours of homework per week, which (in combination with homework for other courses) adds up to a significant amount of homework. Students are advised to plan for this and not to forgo homework because it will be important. If students are absent for social or sporting reasons, they are not excused from doing the homework, and each student will be responsible for ensuring that his or her written work reaches the teacher on time.
Active attendance (meaning participation) will also be important for students to benefit from this course.
University policy stipulates that for foreign language courses, students must attend at least two-thirds of the classes in order to get credit.
Lateness without justification (for example proof of train delay) will be penalized; three times late equals one time absent.
Club activities or other school activities are not to be accepted as valid reasons for additional absence. Extra or “makeup” work might be set for students who have to miss classes, provided that they submit “request for special consideration for students participating in extracurricular activities” issued by the University beforehand.
The schedule outlined above will be adaptable and negotiable according to the abilities and needs of the students
