授業の形式・方法と履修上の注意
/Teaching method and Attention the course
This class will be conducted face to face but I will post a make up assignment on Manabu for those who are absent for a valid reason. We will first review paragraph writing before covering the first three chapters of the textbook in the first semester.
Each class will begin with a review of the previous week before moving on to the lesson. There will be a mixture of individual, pair work and group work activities in class and I will supplement with Power Point lectures. Students will submit first drafts for feedback of all paragraph and essay assignments and are expected to revise them and submit as a final portfolio at the end of the course. The last class will be an in class assignment based on what we have covered during the semester.
