授業の概要
Teaching ( real ) Reading: Students Really Reading
リーディング・スキルを伸ばして、真の読解力を身につける

This course focuses on content that is important for future teachers of English in elementary school, junior high or senior high. The focus is the basic concepts of how reading is taught by teachers in elementary school in the U.S.A.

Reading For Pleasure is extremely important but seldom focused on by Japanese junior and senior high English teachers.
Research has said the following about the reading habits of non-native speakers and their English ability.

a ) Reading outside the class was the most significant predictor of oral communicative ability.

b ) Reading for pleasure was the learning strategy most strongly related to general language proficiency.

c ) Out of class reading was the most important direct contributor to TOEFL test performance.

このコースでは、将来小学校・中学校・高等学校の英語教員を目指す学生にとって重要な内容を扱います。特に、アメリカの小学校でリーディングがいかに教えられているかに関する基礎的な概念に焦点を当てます。

「楽しみながら読む」ことはとても大事なことですが、中学校や高等学校で英語を教える日本人教師は、これをあまり重要視しません。

ある研究によれば、英語がネイティヴでない人の読む習慣と、その人の英語能力には、以下のような関係があるといわれています。

a) 授業以外の時間にリーディングをすることは、オーラル・コミュニケーションの能力を伸ばすのに重要な役割を果たす。
b) 楽しみながらリーディングをすることは、語学の能力全般を上げる効果がある。
c) 授業以外の時間にリーディングをすることは、TOEFLの得点アップにつながる。

成績評価方法
If you want an A in this course, you must spend at least 4 hours a week outside of class; reading and improving your own reading ability. If you only wish to learn the content of the lectures that the teacher does in class, then B is the probable evaluation that a student will receive.

評価

このコースでA評価を得るためには、週に最低でも4時間は、授業以外の時間を使ってリーディングをし、リーディング力を上げる必要がある。そうではなく、授業中に教員が説明する内容だけを学ぶだけで十分だという場合は、基本的にB評価がつくことになる。

Students will be assessed continually on their awareness, attitude, behavior, knowledge and skills. This is mainly done through observation by the teacher both in class during lesson activities and out of class through reading and correcting written homework. Students are also asked to evaluate their own attitude, effort, and classroom participation.

成績は、各自の授業に対する意識や態度、言動、知識、スキルなどを総合して評価します。これには授業中の活動だけでなく、日々の宿題の提出状況なども視野に入れる予定です。
