Outline and objectives

This course, the lowest-level communication course in the ERP, aims to support and strengthen students’ existing speaking and listening skills, by building a solid foundation of English vocabulary and structures to allow simple communication on a range of engaging topics and situations. It uses the textbook’s wide range of relevant topics and themes focused on society and culture as a springboard for planning, discussion, presentation and simple debate activities, with a focus on encouraging active engagement, learner autonomy, and confidence. In class, students will receive verbal feedback individually from both their instructor and classmates to help them identify and improve their weak areas. For assigned tasks, students will receive verbal and/or written feedback from their instructor on general progress and points to improve.

Goal

By the end of this course, students will be better able to:
• make basic presentations (with PowerPoint, etc.) in English, in pairs, groups and individually
• build ability to listen to prepared speeches and simple multi-party interactions
• engage in and lead simple discussions on a range of topics
• improve pronunciation to maintain a clear diction understandable by native speakers
• manage common situations when communicating in English both in Japan and when travelling abroad
• communicate actively by employing simple strategies for explaining, checking and confirming
• express opinions supported by simple reasoning
• work together with other students in simple collaborative projects
