Cross Cultural English Conversation

上智大学公開学習センター

四谷キャンパス

【学習内容】 This is a ‘Western’ style class for truly MOTIVATED people who wish to better understand and better ‘DO’ English conversation, grammar, listening, vocabulary, and reading, in an INTERNATIONAL setting. English listening abilities will be honed by song-listening and video-listening exercises; and English speaking/grammar comprehension can be improved via reading & discussing English News articles. Please sit at the FRONT; sit beside two other GENKI students; make lots of eye contact; it is advisable to use PEN (not pencil); SMILE; show ‘Western’-style manners (e.g. cover your mouth when you cough, sneeze, or yawn); talk together a LOT, in a friendly way; EXPLAIN your answers; use ‘Western’ BODY Language (i.e. please avoid 'crossed arms'; and avoid showing a 'poker face'); develop a sense of HUMOR; try hard to learn and SHOW International ‘EQ’ 【Emotional Intelligence】; and please always keep a LARGE namecard on your desk.
【学習方法】 Activity handout sheets will be mixed with song-listening and video discussion exercises (to improve listening skills); with conversation (to keep the mood INTERNATIONAL and OPEN-MINDED, and to practice grammar and speaking); with News article-reading (to improve reading, writing, and grammar); with some videos; and with other items, to keep the class STIMULATING and cross-cultural. Explanations by the teacher are given in English (and in a little Japanese, if needed).
【学習形態】 Students are requested to participate 382%; to QUICKLY answer questions (and to EXPLAIN their answers); to be open-minded about new and different INTERNATIONAL teaching and learning styles; to show a good sense of HUMOR; and to understand that ‘Wasei Eigo’ is NOT useful English. Pair conversation will assist all of us to ‘ENERGIZE’, and to actively USE the English that we learn.
【受講者に期待する達成レベル】 If students are MOTIVATED; come to every class; do ALL of the homework; and also do ‘self-study’ on their own, they can improve their English & International communication skills. Participation and positive energy are CRUCIAL to realizing your English & International goals. ‘Go for it!’ 【Gambatte!】
