I will explain office hours in the first class.

The purpose of this class is to continue to raise students' speaking and listening ability. With an emphasis on recognizing individual sounds such as vowels and diphthongs, etc. Students will practice the new language in pairs and groups to communicate effectively and clearly. Students will then discuss and debate various topics.

①  Development of proficiency in speaking
②  Improvement of listening skills
③  Build communicative competence  in grammar, vocabulary, syntax and writing
本科目は、人間学部のディプロマ・ポリシー「 建学の精神に則り、カトリック及びキリスト教について理解しており、その精神に基づいた世界観や人間観及び知識・能 力を身につけていることを学位授与の条件とする。」の達成を目指す科目である。

This class is the intermediate level for Oral Communication II of the Department of Child Education. Class content will be based on the  Firsthand Success text & audio content. Students will further improve their  English speaking and listening skills.

Before the first class students should read and study the first half of unit 7 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 then complete the preview and assignments before the next class or test.

Students must actively participate during in-class activities and ask questions if they do not understand.
Students must also check the meaning and/or pronunciation of new words.
Furthermore, they must 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.

Students can use smartphones, tablets or computers in class for English purposes if they are necessary during the lesson.   Students can use a bilingual dictionary to check the meaning of new or difficult words， idioms, etc.

Firsthand Success

Notes on course registration. If you are worried or anxious about taking the course, you should consult with the person in charge by the second class. Some special considerations may be made in certain circumstances.
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 sheet.（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.
