授業の目的・方法
/Course Objectives and method
Again, as in the first semester, his course focuses on basic English skills. Students in this class can practice and learn English at their own pace in a relaxed atmosphere. Language is best learned through using it.

This class is open to all students who want to improve their English ability, but especially so for those who are thinking about studying abroad or want to go abroad.
Words are power. Logical arguments win the day. Being persuasive is useful everyday skills for any person in any area of society. This course will focus on logical arguments and using them in discussion.
This course is student-centered, and the teacher will use a so-called active learning set up; the focus is on debate and discussion. The teacher will make the content easy enough for any student to participate but challenging enough to make the course useful for improving thinking skills in English.
達成目標
/Course Goals
There are two basic goals: 1. English language skills (speaking, hearing, reading and writing). 2. Critical thinking skills (evaluating new information and developing ones own ideas through discussion and logic). The goal is to improve confidence to participate in a discussion on difficult issues in the society and the world. The course is suited to any student who hopes to go overseas. Also, this course will focus on critical thinking as much as improving English language skills. These are the skills necessary to vote in elections, succeed in a career and be successful in life generally.

b.) Thinking about this topic and gathering your own ideas from your experience, from the news, or from research about energy.
c.) Writing an original essay.
