講義概要
国際会議などの場で自らの意見を正確に伝達する高度の口頭表現技法を身につけるための訓練を行う。
講義の目的
The aim of this course is to supply graduate students with the "tool set" they need for using English in spoken situations, particularly in discussions/debates, interviews, and presentations (e.g., lectures and academic conferences). Every attempt will be made to accommodate students' needs and desires in terms of subject matter and format, with individual consultation given.
講義計画
Students will read about and discuss topical scientific and technological issues across a wide range, reflecting their differing backgrounds and areas of specialty. Opportunities will be given for presentations at regular intervals. Written essays on the topics discussed will also be assigned to urge students to focus their ideas. Possible topics for discussion include evolution and DNA engineering, new synthetic materials, energy development, and the history of science.
教科書・参考書等
Materials will be drawn from the Internet, newspapers and magazines, and television news and documentaries. There will be no one “set” textbook.

担当教員の一言
The most important point in improving one’s English ability is to take an active approach, while being exposed to as much material as possible and absorbing it. I hope and expect that the students in my class will participate actively and eagerly, interacting with the other classmates with the same attitude.
