オーラル・コミュニケーション４

授業テーマ	Studying language through literature in order to develop overall English skills.
授業のねらい・到達目標	By actively engaging in reading, writing, speaking and listening tasks that focus on literary works, students will increase their vocabularies and strengthen their abilities to speak and write about more complex things.
授業の方法	As with the first semester, classes will feature tasks that require students first to read, discuss, and manipulate the language of a short literary text. In the second semester there will be an emphasis on student writing, ranging from creative to analytical responses. These responses will solidify knowledge of vocabulary, sentence structure, and style along with the ability to use this knowledge. In the final few weeks of class students will read and prepare presentations and short essays on a well known American short story.
