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. All students who want to improve their English skills are welcome to this lesson.
授業の形式・方法と履修上の注意 ／Teaching method and Attention the course	Because of the continuing coronavirus pandemic, the teacher’s age and underlying health concerns, this class will 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 many opportunities 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. There will be a class video issued each week for you to watch. Be sure to watch the class video each week and be sure to complete your studies each week, too.
事前・事後学修の内容 ／Before After Study	Students need to prepare for lessons, do homework and review lessons. You will be able to study this class at home with on-demand study. It is very important to set aside time on Monday to watch the class video. The video will be available each week at the very start of every Monday. Each class video will accompany the handouts that will be provided for the class. Each class video you should watch will be about 20 to 30 minutes long.
