Before the first class，students should preview and study the coming lesson in the textbook，checking the meaning of words and new ideas. From the first class， the teacher will give instructions on key points to review and assignments to be completed. Students must write down the required preview information， for example， the page numbers and exercises. Then complete the preview and assignments before the next class or test.

Students must participate during class activities, and ask questions if they do not understand.
Students must check the meaning and/or pronunciation of new words.
Furthermore students must actively participate in pair and group work when necessary.

At the end of each class, the teacher will tell  students and write the required textbook pages or assignments that students have to review before the next class on the whiteboard. Review means; reading， listening， memorizing & checking the meaning of core vocabulary and understanding the main language points covered in the previous lesson.  Sometimes, students will be asked to do further research on a particular topic online and then submit their research as homework during the next class.

Bring the textbook & a Japanese-English dictionary.

【一時的な遠隔授業の対応について】
I cannot do on-demand classes for individual students, but I can do hybrid classes if absolutely necessary. Therefore，students will be marked as absent if they do not attend unless they provide a leave of absence (欠席届).  
I can only do online classes for the whole class.

【（自然）災害時の授業対応について】
In an emergency situation, I can schedule zoom classes for the whole class the night before until 9 PM. I will then post the details on Manaba.
