［前年度授業に対する改善要望等への対応］
1. There were a few requests for face-to-face classes, but I am afraid that this year's classes will be conducted online. However, I will try to make the classes as communicative and interactive as the offline ones. 2. Some suggested making students to speak out more. Yes, I will try to encourage students to participate more in discussions, to express their views. 3. Richer materials are requested. I will try to include some real-life stories and experiences, and some quizzss in the materials.
