到達目標
The English title of this course will be “Critical Thinking in English”. In this course, students will engage in discussions and activities which help them improve their critical thinking skills and their use of the English language. The focus of this class is engagement and conversation, not grammar and vocabulary. We focus on examining our thinking in order to improve our awareness of how we think and the decisions we make; and we do this in a foreign language (English) because this forces us to think more carefully about what we want to say and why.

概要:
The English title of this course will be “Critical Thinking in English”. In this course, students will engage in discussions and activities which help them improve their critical thinking skills and their use of the English language. The focus of this class is engagement and conversation, not grammar and vocabulary. We focus on examining our thinking in order to improve our awareness of how we think and the decisions we make; and we do this in a foreign language (English) because this forces us to think more carefully about what we want to say and why.
授業の進め方・方法:
Students will participate in weekly lessons which involve speaking, listening, reading, and writing in English. Lessons focus on lessons prompting students to examine their critical thinking and decision making skills. Mastery of English is NOT the aim of these lessons: improving our critical thinking skills through English is the the aim of these lessons. Homework will be required, and that homework will require students to communicate with various people outside of class: family, friends, neighbors, etc., because interaction with other peoples’ ways of thinking is essential to better understanding our own thinking. Presentations and role-plays will also be required of students.
注意点:
Homework (40%) + Class Activities and Quizzes (40%) + TOEIC score (10%) + e-learning (10%) = 100%
e-learning: TOEIC L&R キックオフ 69Lessons中25Lessons終了で10％付与する。
TOEIC score: 12月に実施されるTOEIC IPのスコアを加味する。なお、TOEIC IPが実施されない場合には、e-learningの10%を20%に換算する。
