授業の目的・内容 ／Course Objectives	The purposes of the course are to show you how to: a) think in and communicate more effectively in modern English, using ""EQ"" (Emotional Intelligence); b) learn about and actively discuss World Issues, from an International point of view; c) enjoy dynamic, interesting conversations in smooth, Modern English; d) try to understand International humor; and (hopefully) try to use such humor effectively; and e) (if students are interested) research and 'give' (present) a class presentation. ※同一学期に同一教員の重複履修不可
授業の形式・方法と履修上の注意 ／Teaching method and Attention the course	Students will be shown examples of ways to ask & answer English questions. Then, students will be invited to produce their OWN spoken replies to similar questions/similar situations...and to explain a LOT, in modern, high-EQ English. English pairwork will be requested, so that classmates can get to know each other better.
事前・事後学修の内容 ／Before After Study	Please do homework assignments as soon as possible (the same day; or the next day). Waiting until the last minute to do assignments/homework (‘ichiyazuke’) is NOT a good way to prepare for classes.
