Outline and objectives

This course will seek to introduce the culture & society of contemporary Britain to students through a series of stimulating audio-visual units, together with selected thematically linked readings.
In addition to offering a greater understanding of contemporary UK culture, the course encourages students through the presentation & report to critically compare & contrast UK culture & society with their own.

Goal

During this course, through regular exposure to a variety of audio-visual material, students will have the opportunity to sharpen their listening skills. Follow-up pair-work comprehension questions, discussion & structured conversation practice will also give them the opportunity to improve their oral skills.Finally students will be encouraged to reflect on their own culture & society as they learn about UK.

Default language used in class

英語 / English

Method(s)(学期の途中で変更になる場合には、別途提示します。 /If the Method(s) is changed, we will announce the details of any changes. )

The previous lesson's reading assignment will be reviewed & discussed before a pair-work preview will introduce the theme for that lesson. Any required vocabulary will be previewed before students view/listen to the material.
Pair-work comprehension questions will allow students to check their own understanding, while a post-viewing discussion will offer more chances to analyze the material. Time permitting, there will be structured conversation practice before outlining the following week's homework.
