Outline (in English)

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.

At the end of this course, students will be able to:
•understand the grammar and meaning of each sentence in the context
•understand the paragraph structure of the text
•rephrase new words in plain English
•think critically about the topics of the TED presentations

Before each class meeting, students will be expected to have read the relevant passages from the textbook. Your required study time is at least one to two hours for each class meeting.
