● 英語Ｃ（上級）英ⅡＢ

002-D-312

The course follows the well-received Top Notch English course and is designed to allow students to (a) develop use of English to convey ideas to other people through conversation, extended speaking, and short writing and (b) teach students vocabulary and language routines necessary for using English in typical second-language-use situations.

Students should have significantly enhanced their abilities in both speaking and listening in conversation and in both written language exchange and general short writing.

As much as possible, classroom time will be devoted to using the materials studied from the textbook before the class session. Examples include creating conversations; role-playing;discussion; short informal presentations.
Part of each class that follows written homework will be devoted to reviewing anonymous examples of exemplary homework and homework with common or serious errors.

Students should have read all of the relevant sections of the textbook before the class begins; most, there will be listening and video-watching exercises for each unit. Listening and video work will be done outside the classroom and in most cases will be available for listening or viewing one week before the official assignment. In addition, there will be 12 on-line tests on the textbook material to be completed outside of class, generally during a one-month window.
Please note that homework deadlines are generally two days before classes.
How much work will vary according to person, but usually 30 to 60 minutes per week will be the minimum time necessary.
