【授業の概要と目的（何を学ぶか） / Outline and objectives】
This course reinforces the basic reading skills and strategies that are needed for academic success at the university level, and moves up through critical reading of more advanced texts toward the reading and understanding of academic papers.
These objectives are achieved via the use of such communicative methods as discussion and presentation in pairs, groups and at class level. This will ensure students actively communicate in English, helping them to enhance skills in listening and speaking as well as in reading and writing.
【到達目標 / Goal】
To improve students’ reading speed and accuracy, enhancing their critical thinking skills, and exposing them to academic material, in order to prepare them for the Department’s demanding course of study.
【この授業を履修することで学部等のディプロマポリシーに示されたどの能力を習得することができるか（該当授業科目と学位授与方針に明示された学習成果との関連） / Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking this class?】
Will be able to gain “DP 1”, “DP 2”, and “DP 4”.
【授業で使用する言語 / Default language used in class】
英語 / English
【授業の進め方と方法 / 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. ）
Through the textbook and its academic reading selections and exercises, students will explore real-world issues, discuss academic topics, read and study content-based and thematic materials; interact in pair work, small group work, and whole class activities that present opportunities for real-world use of language; acquire tools that promote the critical thinking skills crucial to success in the academic world; expand their vocabulary; and gain familiarity with the ingredients of widely used tests of English proficiency. This will occupy the first half of the course. During the second half, students will be introduced via more demanding material intended for non-specialists to a topic of academic concern, and then shown how best to approach and digest an academic paper on this topic.
Students will receive written and spoken feedback in class for both HW and exams that address areas needing improvement.
*Class 1 (Professor Evans) will be held online.
