授業の形式・方法と履修上の注意 ／Teaching method and Attention the course	This class will be an on-demand course. During the semester time, a link to the video lessons will be posted each Wednesday at 00:00 a.m. on Manaba. You should watch the class videos carefully from beginning to end each week every Wednesday during the semester time. There is no textbook for this class because there will be handouts for you to use. You should download and print out a copy of the handouts so that you can follow the video lesson while looking at a copy of the handout. There are many opportunities in this class for discussion and speaking practice, therefore, it would be a good idea to hook up with other students to practice the speaking and discussion activities. Students will receive feedback on their assignments via Dokkyo’s manaba system. In addition, some feedback will be given via the video lessons, too.
事前・事後学修の内容 ／Before After Study	Students need to prepare for lessons, do homework and review lessons.  Students need to carefully go over the points covered in the handout paying particular regard to any new vocabulary (15-minutes). Go over and organise your notes on the lesson and review and prepare for any assignment mentioned in the class videos (45-minutes). Depending on your pace, you might take more than one hour on this.
