<この授業の到達目標>
The objectives of this course are to help students develop cognitive and practical experience developing English speeches, to provide English oral communication practice, and to improve their English essay writing ability.
<到達目標の評価方法と基準>
Students’ ability to write English essays will be evenly evaluated through the use of two exams (a midterm exam and a final exam). Students will have attained the goals provided that they have earned 60% of the total points possible for this course. Because it is impossible to give a paper exam that measures students’ English oral communication ability, the two exams will only cover students’ ability to write English essays and will not cover their English oral communication ability.
<あらかじめ要求される基礎知識の範囲>
An understanding of basic English syntax and grammar achieved through the first four years as students at Suzuka Kosen.
<レポート等>
The total time necessary for students to acquire an understanding of the course is 45 hours, including classroom time and study time outside of the classroom.
