事前学修・事後学修
/Preparation and review class
Students should prepare for lessons by reading the textbook unit that will be studied in each class. Students will be required to review the language structures, vocabulary, and strategies in order to pass the speaking tests. There will be weekly quizzes and bi-weekly written forums that students will be expected to complete outside of class hours. The textbook contains an online course component that we will use extensively. Completing the online course material will be done as homework assignments and students will be expected to do this in their own time. Students should expect to spend an hour each week outside of class completing the quizzes, forums, and other online course materials. There will be 2 speaking tests. Students will be expected to prepare for these speaking tests outside of class with their group members.

履修上の注意事項
/Remarks
As the world continues to become more interconnected, the ability to speak English is increasingly important for students in Japan. There are several reasons why Japanese university students should develop their English language skills, including future academic and career success and becoming responsible global citizens. First, many academic programs at universities around the world are conducted in English. Therefore, students who can speak English have a greater opportunity to access these programs and gain a more diverse academic experience. Additionally, English language skills are essential for students who wish to pursue graduate studies or research opportunities overseas.

Second, proficiency in English is highly valued by many employers, both in Japan and abroad. Many companies require employees to communicate in English, and those who can do so effectively are often seen as valuable assets to the company. Furthermore, having the ability to speak English opens up opportunities for international business and collaboration, which can enhance one's career prospects.

Finally, learning English can also help students become responsible global citizens who can contribute to a better world. Being able to communicate with people from different cultures and backgrounds fosters understanding and cooperation, which can lead to positive change. Additionally, English language skills enable individuals to participate in global discussions and initiatives, such as those related to climate change or human rights. Developing the ability to speak English is essential for Japanese university students who wish to succeed academically and professionally, as well as become responsible global citizens.
