This is a course for students who are interested in studying, working or visiting in foreign countries, particularly English-speaking countries. We will have two major goals in this course. First, we will cover what students need to know or practice in order to succeed at studying abroad or visiting foreign countries. Second, we will practice four skills of English, listening, speaking, reading, and writing. We will emphasize to enrich vocabulary in students' interesting and necessary fields.
Good attendance is important, since materials are distributed and instructions are given in class.
Evaluation will be based on quizzes, projects, class participation, etc. Everything done in the class will be part of the evaluation. From Paragraphs to Essays. This class is a lecture and discussion on comparisons between communication styles in Japanese and English. The lecture will be conducted in English, and the evaluation will be done based on reports and projects in English.
