授業の概要
/Course outline
Knowledge of the most frequent 3,000 words in English are critical to communicate (listen and speak), and to read and write.

Luckily, there is a high-frequency vocabulary word list that contains these words. However, just learning these words receptively is not enough. We need to be able to productively use the words in context. Therefore, this course will focus on receptively and productively using these words from the 3,000-word list.

In this high-frequency vocabulary course, we will learn the most important words in English through numerous meaning-focused activities as well as the goal of learning a weekly list of words, which will focus on the most frequently used words in English.
授業の目的と到達目標
/Objectives and attainment
goals
The following objectives will be of interest:
1. Understanding what is involved in ‘knowing’ a word.
2. Having a deeper knowledge of the most frequent words in English.
3. Learning a total of seven weekly lists over the course.

授業の概要
/Course outline
When we learn a foreign language, we typically focus on grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. These are important! However, we sometimes forget to think about pragmatics- the ways in which our language choices can change in different social situations. This short course introduces you to the pragmatics of the English language. You will learn about how conversation is constructed in real-life situations, and how our grammar patterns and vocabulary choices vary in different contexts.

The course introduces the concept of speech-as-action. We will use the tools of conversation analysis to describe authentic talk and gain an understanding of how it can vary according to context. You will have opportunities to analyse model talk and apply apply knowledge to your own spoken interactions.

Course components
1. In-class activities/active participation
You should attend all classes and participate in all activities. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of class. Failure to actively participate in class may lead to points being deducted from the “active participation” category. If you have to miss a class for a legitimate reason (e.g., illness or family emergency), you must contact Allan Nicholas in advance.

2. Assignments/homework
Sometimes your instructor will give you assignments to complete for homework. It is important to complete all assignments and hand them in on time.

3. End-term assessments
There is an end-term exam. Make-up exams will only be given if you miss a test for a legitimate reason (e.g. illness or family emergency).

4. End-term project
You will complete a project at the end of the term to demonstrate your ability to apply the things you have learnt throughout the course.
授業の目的と到達目標
/Objectives and attainment
goals
By the end of the course, learners will:
a) have some basic knowledge of Speech Act Theory (SAT)
b) have knowledge of fundamental concepts related to Conversation    Analysis (CA)
c) have an understanding of how talk is influenced by social context
d) be able to analyse model conversations using CA concepts
e) be able to analyse their own English language interactions using CA concepts

You will practice both "extensive" and "intensive" reading in this class. Extensive reading (ER), the activity that you had in the first year, is believed to improve overall language ability if enough number of words is read. In this course, students will read more than 40,000 words of graded readers and write and present a book report at the end of the quarter.
Intensive reading is a way of reading difficult text by analyzing the structure and meaning, possible with a dictionary. This course will attempt to improve your overall reading fluency by reading English in these two ways.
授業の目的と到達目標
/Objectives and attainment
goals
This class is to develop reading fluency (reading and understanding English text quickly). The goal of this course is to read more than 40,000 words in three months and present book reports as well as getting used to reading academic text such as abstracts of research papers.

授業の概要
/Course outline
This course focuses on notetaking in academic contexts when the notetaker is listening to a lecture that is given in their additional language (English). Notetaking during a lecture is not a single action, but a recursive process which consists of several steps. Students will practice these steps to develop their notetaking and listening skills when listening to lectures in English. A variety of notetaking methods will be practiced, allowing students to discover which approaches are most suitable for them. These skills are crucial when taking lectures in an additional language and also beneficial when attending conferences in your professional life. Please note, while this course practices and develops listening skills, its primary focus is developing notetaking skills.
