授業の目的・方法
/Course Objectives and method
The main goal of the class is to further develop reading skills and strategies for navigating readings -- both fiction for pleasure reading and more difficult non-fiction academic texts. The course seeks to boost students' vocabulary and understanding of words / phrases in context.

Reading is one of the language skills which must be learned -- it does not come naturally. With this in mind, this course will focus on extensive free reading in which students do not need to overly rely on a dictionary. In addition, students will also read more challenging academic articles which require more attention to vocabulary and precise meaning. Finally, students will focus on particular reading skills such as skimming, inferring meaning and understanding grammar.

In-class the teacher will setup active learning tasks and group work exercises so that students can discuss homework readings with classmates and to check each other's comprehension.
達成目標
/Course Goals
By the end of the course students will have become familiar with academic texts and will have learned how to identify main ideas and the writers' conclusions.  Students will sharpen their scanning skills - the ability to quickly find important information and to understand the overall meaning of a text or article. In addition, they will learn how to summarize such findings in their own words.

The ultimate goal is to improve reading in English through solitary study, as well as by cooperating with other students in pairs or in group work to clarify the meaning. All such in-class review aims to limit the use of Japanese and  be done ideally all in English.

/Preparation and review class
Preparation
*Extensive Reading: Students must choose a graded reader from the library (the book must be not too easy nor too hard). Read the book and write a book report. Students should prepare themselves to explain the book contents to other student in class.
*Academic articles: Students will be given an authentic readings such as articles or book excerpts. Students will be expected to read for overall comprehension. Then, students will write an original essay based on their own ideas or values - or prepare for a quiz in the next class.

*Review:
Weekly, students should keep a list or notebook of key vocabulary and grammar learned from homework or from in-class exercises. This review aims to help with the students' education as well as for the tests.

*I will check to see how much time students take on tasks, especially homework. I aim to keep it to a reasonable 90 minutes or so. However, this depends on individual student proficiency.
