授業の目的・内容 ／Course Objectives	Idioms are multi-word expressions (e.g., "be at a crossroads," "the tip of the iceberg," "safe and sound") which form one category of the "formulaic language" that is important to acquire in order to become a proficient user of English. This course will focus on key aspects of English idioms, including the definition of "idiom," types of idioms, common topic areas of idioms, and the use of idioms in journalism and advertising. We will also explore how the use of idioms in daily life is related to general principles of language use. The main aims of this course are for students to: 1) gain an understanding of what past research says about key aspects of idioms; 2) build their vocabulary (both receptive and productive); 3) develop their ability to participate actively in group discussions and do oral presentations about specialized topics.
授業の形式・方法と履修上の注意 ／Teaching method and Attention the course	Class format will include group discussion of pre-assigned readings, oral presentations (in small groups), and mini-lectures. Students will be expected to develop their understanding of weekly topics through a guided cycle of reading, discussion, listening, and writing. *NOTE: 1) Classes will be conducted face-to-face. In-person attendance is required, and classes will not be live-streamed or recorded for viewing on demand. 2) Advance preparation is required every week. Homework instructions will be given at the end of each class, and details will be posted on manaba > Weekly lessons. Feedback for hand-in assignments will be provided in the form of written comments and marks (either paper-based or digital). 3) Students must check manaba regularly to find course materials, homework instructions, and announcements from the instructor. 4) Details about class format, the class schedule, and assignments will be posted on manaba by April 7.
事前・事後学修の内容 ／Before After Study	1) Before class (2 hours): Students must read a passage from the textbook and prepare a mini-report (summary/comment) or worksheet every week. This preparation will help you to participate actively in group discussion and follow lectures. 2) After class (2 hours): Students must complete vocabulary exercises from the textbook (1 page a week) and review the slides and materials used in class. You will also need to take ample time to prepare oral presentations and the final paper.
