●英語Ｃ（中級）英ⅠＡ：ラボ

This course will offer First Year students an introduction to studying English at University level. In order to help students adjust to the demands of their new environment, the first part of the course will examine the habits students have developed in their study of English at High School. The second part of the course will introduce students to contemporary English through the use of film, music, and TV news. In the concluding part of the course, students will look at the importance of context both for understanding, and as determinant of, the language of a given situation.

The goal of the course is to help students become more proactive in their study and in their use of English, so students are expected to play an active role in the collaborative tasks which will be assigned in class and to participate in class discussions. The major assignment of the course is the preparation of a film, the goal of which is to help students build confidence in their ability to use English to accomplish a complex and creative task.
