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	This class will be an on-demand course. During the semester time, a link to the video lessons will be posted each Monday at 00:00 a.m. on Manaba. You should watch the class videos carefully from beginning to end each week every Monday 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. It is a really good idea to find another class student so you can practice together. 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.  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 may spend more time on this class both before and after the class.

The average of that will then be taken as 15% towards your final grade. The weekly report is based on TED talks. You will watch a TED video each week, summarise the main point and give your opinion. The written assignment will receive points out of 100 x 25%. Around two written assignments will be assessed to total a percentage out of 100 and 25% of this will go to your grade and you will record two video assignments which will average out of 100 points x 25%.
