Outline (in English)

1[授業概要(Course outline)]
The purpose of this class is to improve academic reading ability through the development of basic vocabulary, grammar and sentence structure analysis skills. Vocabulary development focuses on considering the context and structure to discern meaning, rather than strict translation between English and Japanese. Grammar and sentence structure instruction emphasizes the use and application of previous knowledge to read actual English. Using these skills, it aims to reinforce basic reading competence as well as rapidly and concisely summarize the gist of the content based on an understanding of paragraph structure.

Students of this course will read popular topics on groundbreaking achievements in natural sciences, in the compiled textbook from Smart News website (Smithsonian.com). To have a more valid understanding of the news topics, students will also deal with doing certain exercises.
