Students will improve their English vocabulary and writing skills.
<授業の方法>
Lessons start with a pre-reading vocabulary exercise, then go into the reading. After that there are T/F questions about the reading and listening activities, followed by partial translation and writing exercises. These are followed by discussion as time allows. Besides everyday performance, there will be two vocabulary tests, three compositions and a final reading/writing test.
