概要
| 学修到達目標 | The goals of this course are for students in all departments to improve 1) their conversational fluency, 2) their academic writing skills, and 3) their presentations skills. Students will complete a short research paper in English or translate a paper to English and practice presenting multiple times. This course will prepare students for the annual CST conference (学術講演会) and other research conferences. |
|---|---|
| 授業形態及び 授業方法 |
This course is a satellite course. We will use a Moodle LMS and Zoom. There will be small-group discussions, video and interactive presentations, and individual work focussing on the student's own research. Participants will engage in the use of model papers, data-driven learning and peer review. This will help them to improve their understanding of the writing process and their own papers. |
|
準備学習（予習・ 復習等）の内容・ 受講のための 予備知識 |
This course uses a conversational approach to improve speaking fluency, and it uses a process approach to writing. Throughout the course, you will edit and improve your writings and presentations by learning the vocabulary and grammar structures that are used by native English speakers in your area of research. |

| 学生への メッセージ |
Writing is a process. Presenting requires practice. The more you do these (of any kind in any language), the better you will become. The syllabus contents may be adjusted to suit the proficiency levels and needs of the students in the course and the campus at which the course is being taken. |
