・学修方針（講義概要等）
English is the primary means of sharing scientific discoveries around the world through news and research
articles. Japanese doctors, dentists, nurses, and pharmacists need the skills to access and disseminate thisinformation and communicate data and results effectively to other members of the medical team, whether
foreign or Japanese. Scientific English is a course themed on learning English through scientific news
articles and their related abstracts. Students will develop the skills needed to appreciate, understand, anddiscuss contemporary scientific news articles. There will be a heavy focus on active learning whileaccessing online resources. Classes will be conducted through group work, discussion, and presentation
activities entirely in English to maximize exposure to the target language.

・教育成果（アウトカム）
Through reading comprehension tasks and group discussion on scientific current events, students will
become able to understand news articles on science and their corresponding abstracts and understandhow to disseminate scientific knowledge effectively as participants in the globalized medical community.
