Almost all the students will start working after graduation. For that, the students will discuss and learn what the job career is, how they will make it and why they should learn it.

This class aims to give students an opportunity to study in English what the job career is, why they should learn it, and how it should be made. By so doing, students will become able to consider about their own careers and understand issues regarding career making so that they can better make their own careers in the future.

Students are supposed to read provided materials carefully in advance and make clear what they cannot understand and should be ready to ask questions about them, answer questions asked by the lecturer or make comments on the lecturer’s talk. They are also supposed to review what they learned in each class. The usually expected time for the preparation and review of the study in class is two hours each.

Reading materials are provided from time to time prior to the lectures. This class does not use a particular textbook.

References will be presented at the beginning of the class.

Assessment will be made by short exams (20%), a final exam or an essay (70%) and participation in the discussion in class (10%). Students will frequently have a short exam in class. Also, the final exam will be conducted in the final session or students instead may be required to submit an essay of around 3,000 words. It will be decided in the class in consideration of some factors such as the number of students.

The lecturer, if conditions allow, will try to invite one or two guest speakers because students are interested in listening to talk by people who have various job experiences including work experiences overseas or work experiences in English in Japan.

Nothing.

Japanese students have been learning English for many years. This class will offer a challenging opportunity to learn job careers in English, not to learn the English language itself.

Those who intend to take this subject must attend the first class and follow the instructions from the lecturer. Students also must bring their results of English language proficiency tests such as TOEFL, TOEIC, Eigo-kentei Shiken or other similar tests.

If the number of students who intend to take this subject is more than 15 at the first class, priority will be given to the students of the Faculty of Sustainability Studies and some sort of selection will be made for students from the other Faculties and courses.
