1) Learn technology related vocabulary through discussion and problem solving exercises in groups
2) Develop effective group work skills
3) Learn practical conversational phrases on a weekly basis in order to enhance fluency
概要:
Students have a phrase learning requirement which is key to their success on the course. This phrase learning requirement is designed to accelerate fluency and preparation for this requirement will take between 1/4 and 1/2 of the course.. Students have a phrase based learning requirement for each two week period which will be tested at the end of each semester. A separate textbook "Technology 1"is provided to develop functional communication skills in a tech related setting. The chapters are designed to stimulate interest with tech related material and with problem solving exercises for pairs and groups. The material and exercises are but a curious vehicle for delivering vocabulary.. Students have a vocabulary based learning requirement for each two week period and this will be tested at the end of each semester.
授業の進め方・方法:
Each two week period will start with an introduction of 20 phrases for students to memorize and some pair work to help solidify these items. On each third week these phrases will be tested in a 5/10 minute written quiz. In the text there are 15 chapters to be completed during the year so 3/4 chapters will be covered in each quarter. One chapter will be covered over each two week period, along with 20 suggested vocabulary for review. Each chapter includes exercises on reading, writing, speaking and listening which will be selected based on their level of curiosity and practical use.
注意点:
Problem solving in groups will be key to success with the texts. Students are expected to work together and support each other so that each class can work through the text at a good pace. Emrace importance of memorization, it is a fact of language learning which can't be escaped. I have prepared sentences carefully to make memorization requirements as useful and as interesting as possible. Please keep a mature attitude in class and consider what kind pf approach will serve you well in future employment or research. Insisting to work by oneself, sleeping, daydreaming, having long unrelated conversations, working on reports for other classes etc. is not team work and may drag your classmates down. Classes wil allow some time for socializing through the use of English, please take advantage of these opportunities for your own enjoyment. Any testing will be predicatable to a certain extent and not so mysterious so please take advantage of my preparation advice.
