授業の目的・内容 ／Course Objectives	Beat the Monday morning blues by studying in this dynamic class. All students, who are prepared to try hard, are most welcome. Interesting topics will be covered in the lessons, there will be a lot of fun, and plenty of opportunities to speak and discuss a variety of issues in English. You do not need a textbook in the class because materials will be given to you. At the end of the course if you have studied hard, you will have increased your English speaking, listening and vocabulary abilities a great deal. Student who have previously studied in the class are welcome - the content will be changed from last year.
授業の形式・方法と履修上の注意 ／Teaching method and Attention the course	The content may change depending on whether former students attend the class again. This lesson will give thestudents maximum time to express themselves. Because of the continuing coronavirus pandemic, the teacher’s age and underlying health concerns, this class will now be conducted through handouts and assignments set online through manaba. Unfortunately, the university will not allow Zoom classes on a weekday, thus there will be no face-to-face contact possible with the teacher. Due to the nature of the study in this class, there are manyopportunities for the students to discuss many issues with other class members. It is hoped that you will be able to find someone also attending the class and do lots of discussion with them through FaceTime, WhatsApp, Line or such like. Good luck with your studies. DON’T WORRY. YOU WILL NOT BE OVERLOADED WITH ASSIGNMENTS IN THIS CLASS. Every week, you will need to check manaba for the lesson handouts and the stuff you need to do. Hopefully,
