○Reading Skills in English IB[3342]

＜授業のねらい及び具体的な達成目標＞

The aim of this course is to improve the students’ abilities to engage textual material that is written in English. The focus will be on developing the students’ aptitudes in contemplating texts so that they will be better prepared to form opinions, arguments and conclusions based on the content presented in the texts. To achieve these goals, attention will be given to nurturing the students’ abilities to infer meanings from texts and to utilize critical thinking techniques in the analysis process. Students will be expected to display their skills in the above techniques in English, both orally and in written form.

＜授業計画及び準備学習＞

Short passages from the textbook and other handouts will be read and discussed in small groups and as a class. Students will be asked to prepare short presentations on topics occurring in the text and will be encouraged to offer their thoughts on the topics being discussed. Students will be expected to complete reading logs on a regular basis.

＜成績評価方法及び水準＞

Grading will be based on three main elements: 1) participation/attendance/attitude; 2) quizzes/homework tasks/reading logs; and 3) one end-of-term test
