市ヶ谷リベラルアーツセンター（ILAC）ILAC Course

Instructors will teach this course using communicative English language pedagogy and classroom practices common in English as a Second Language (ESL) programs at universities in English-speaking countries. So students are expected to advance all their language skills, however extra emphasis will be placed on reading and writing skills

Building on the English language skills acquired in the first and second-year required courses, students will work on developing the type of language skills they would normally have been acquired in the traditional study abroad context.

Summary, & Review

本授業の準備学習・復習時間は、合わせて1時間を標準とします。/University guidelines suggest preparation and review should be around an hour a week for a one-credit course.

Students should read the following unit before each class and make a note of unknown words or expressions in a B-5 notebook.

In the first class, the instructor will check students know how to ask questions about the meaning of words, and the instructor will conduct ad hoc, simple checks on student understanding in the class. Students are expected to grasp all the vocabulary and grammar in the previous class by the time of the next class. The instructor may ask random questions of students during the class to check. In this way the students should have little trouble preforming the tests.
