授業の概要

This is a communication-based class in which reading and speaking are important in the classroom; as well as reading independently outside the classroom. The goal is to become more comfortable, more fluent, and more skillful in reading, understanding and using English. Students will do activities in which they can practice reading strategies. With a partner, students will discuss what they read and have a chance to use the vocabulary and grammar that they found while reading. Focus on Awareness and Fluency Students will be encouraged to be more aware of their own reading style and comprehension ; making decisions as to how they would like to improve reading comprehension. Focus on knowledge and accuracy Students will acquire useful vocabulary and language structures through extensive reading for pleasure, through listening to English being spoken in the classroom, and through speaking English in the classroom. Students will be given chances to understand how native speakers of English view the underlying meaning or use of a word or structure. Working with a partner, students will learn how to be a peer mentor when focusing on things like vocabulary and pronunciation. Focus on strategies for improving skills Students will be introduced to a range of activities in which they can practice reading strategies and skills that native speakers of English are introduced to when they are studying their native language in school The goal of the focus on strategies is to develop their fluency and to help them monitor the accuracy of their English. PERSONAL LEARNING PROJECT - READING FOR PLEASURE Students will be expected to Read for Pleasure each week. There are more than 1,000 English books in the Bungaku Library. The purpose of this activity is simple ; reading books which are not too difficult but are interesting. While students are Reading for Pleasure, they will have the chance to practice reading strategies which are introduced in class. The focus is becoming a more skillful reader ; understanding the intent of the writer , not just reading the words. Students will be asked to keep a Response Journal about the books which they are Reading for Pleasure The memos written in the journal might be questions or comments about vocabulary or grammar that the author of the book used. Some questions and comments might be personal ones - about themselves and their lives. Some of the reading will be done on Tamagawa Blackboard as there are audio files and PDF of books. It is a good chance for students to practice listening and reading in a easy but effective way. There will be weekly written homework. It usually focuses on language awareness. Students will need to spend 2 hours a week preparing for class and Reading for Pleasure. There will also be reading activities in classs. Students will read short selections and then answer comprehension questions. The purpose is not evaluation, but rather for students to assess their own level of comprehension and progress during this year course.

到達目標

いかなる言語であれ、自分自身のことを語ったり、他人と意見を交わすことは重要なスキルのひとつです。またコミュニケーションの上達には、相手が何をし、何を言おうとしているのかを予想することが必要です。本授業では、以下の３つの目標を掲げ、パートナーとのディスカッションやグループ活動などを通じて英会話を学んでいきます。 　 * よいコミュニケーションとは何かを意識すること * 英語でコミュニケーションを図ることに積極的になること * 適切な行動やスキル、方針にそって練習をすること 授業では主に、英語でコミュニケーションを図ることに焦点をあてます。コミュニケーション能力は、「流暢さ」と「正確さ」が基盤となっています。本授業ではどちらにも重点を置きます。「流暢さ」を増すことを心がけてコミュニケーションを図ろうとすれば、自然と「正確さ」を高めることにもつながるからです。 コミュニケーション能力を高めるには、さまざまな予期しない状況において、各自が積極的に行動し、そうした状況に対応する能力を持つことが必要です。本授業で中心となる活動は以下の３点です. * 自立（Independence）：自分自身で英語を学び、用いようとすること * 協調（Interaction）：他の学生と相互に学び合うこと * 融合（Integration）：実際のコミュニケーションのなかで、他の言語学習から得た知識を活用すること ● 【グループ活動（Large-group Activities）】 ● 授業の後半は、主にグループあるいはクラス単位で活動を行います。（発音の仕方や、英語での表現方法など）を、グループ／クラス単位で話し合うことによって解決していきます。 ● ● 【宿題（Homework）】 ● ある特定のトピックについて、前年度の受講生が述べた考えや意見が書かれたハンドアウトを配布します。それを熟読し、自らの意見や感想などを１ページほどにまとめて授業に臨んでください。 ● ● 宿題は、毎授業ごとに出します。宿題をチェックすることによって、みなさんが授業中にどのようなディスカッションをしていたかを把握できるからです。また文法的なあやまりや英文にしづらい表現などについても助言を行っていきます。 ● ● 【配布プリントの保管と活用（Maintaining and using a portfolio）】 ● この授業ではテキストを使用しません。その代わりに、毎授業ごとにプリントを配りますので、各自責任を持って保管し、授業や自宅学習で大いに活用してください。返却された宿題も一緒に管理しておくといいでしょう。 This will be an ENGLISH-ONLY class; speaking English both in Pair Discussions and when interacting within the larger group. It is important and interesting to talk about yourself , express your opinions as well as find out the ideas and opinions of others. One can do that in the classroom with non-native speakers. In this class, you will be asked to speak English, both during discussions with a partner and when interacting within the larger group. You will have a chance to : ....become aware of what good communication is ....develop a more positive attitude towards communicating in English ....practice appropriate behaviors, skills, and strategies. Together we will practice communication strategies which will allow them to ' stay ' in English even in unexpected and situations you have not ' practiced ' before. There will be a challenging but supportive atmosphere in this course for students who are not confident in the fluency or accuracy of their spoken English. The main goals the course are : * Understand what others say * Communicate your idea * Help others to understand and communicate. The main activities of lessons will ask students to focus on : * Independence - students learn and use English on their own. * Interaction - students work with others. * Integration - students use knowledge from other language studies in real communication situations
