● 英語Ｃ（上級）心ⅡＣ

002-D-312

This course offers students the opportunity to practice their English speaking and listening skills as well as to improve their reading and writing. A relaxed atmosphere will prevail to encourage group discussion. A variety of topics will be presented to ensure that students' interest continues to be stimulated.

It is intended that by the end of the year students will be able to converse naturally about a variety of topics, as well as give their opinions. Focus will be made on a better understanding of certain English grammar points, especially singular and plural and verb tenses. Sustained practice will result in more correct usage and more fluent speech for the students.

Topics requiring greater thought will be presented in the latter half of the year, progressing from the easier ones introduced earlier, but there will be flexibility in the order.

Students will divide into small groups and after an initial introduction and some explanations, will be set to discuss different topics in English every week. Participation of all students is expected; some research and writing are also needed.

Students will be regularly asked to conduct research and prepare for the following week's topics. From time to time they will also provide an initial written report in the form of a short summary of their ideas（30 minutes to 1 hour）.
