【担当者からの言葉】 Message to students
Across all topics and levels of teaching, I generally believe that theultimate goal of teaching is to help students to develop self-confidence. I would liketo stimulate students to find their own motivation for study and assist them indeveloping their own approach towards topics of their interest (in this case,English as a second language) so that they become an independent learner.
In order to achieve my ultimate goal of helping them to develop
confidence and independent attitude, I would like to make it my common practice
to review common sense and follow the principles and teachings in The Seven
Habits of Highly Effective People (Covey, 1989). That is, I would like to make surethat students become/remain proactive by focusing on what can be controlled
rather than what cannot be controlled, have specific goals in mind, and set theirpriorities straight to achieve what is truly important in the long-run. Because
second language acquisition requires painstaking commitment, unlike acquisitionof the first language, the proactive, ambitious, and independent attitudes are, I
believe, particularly crucial. In assisting students to become mature by developing
the above habits, I will be careful not to impose my own perspectives and will
review my approaches and missions periodically so that I can understand issues
with different paradigms in mind.
Last but not least, linguistic communication ability is luxury that only wehumans possess. I would like my students to celebrate this luxury and express
their opinions without hesitation. After all, "it is not best that we should all thinkalike; it is a difference of opinion which makes horse races" (Mark Twain).	 	 	  	 	  	 【本授業に関する参照ウェブページ】URL of the website about your class

Office Hours:• If you need help with the course, I will be happy to help you before or after
the class, or via e-mail (kojimiwa4@gmail.com). However, please note that(1) I will not re-lecture, and (2) I will never hand out any lecture material
other than what you can obtain in class.
• If you have missed a class, please get notes/updates from your classmates
and then come to see me, if necessary.
Email Policy:• Because of the volume of emails that I may receive, “emergency” emails
are not a good idea. However, I will try to get back to you within 24 hours.
• Likewise, I cannot always respond to messages on weekends. If you senda message late on Friday or during the weekend, there’s no guarantee I will
reply before Monday.
• Make sure that the subject line contains a meaningful description of theemail (not just “hi”), starting with “AEA” or “英語上級”, for example.
Academic and Personal Conduct:• You are expected to attend all classes and are responsible for all theinformation that appears in the assigned readings and that occurs duringclass time.
• Chronic lateness or early leaving are disruptive for both the lecturer andthe rest of the students. Please avoid engaging in such behaviour.
• Cell phones must be turned off during class.
