すべての「英語スピーキング演習」の科目は、その名のとおり、学生の話す力を伸ばすことを目標としている。発表以外の場においては、効果的に話すためには効果的に聞くことも必要となることから、これらの科目の授業や宿題においては、互いに話し合う練習やきちんと聞く練習を行う。
「英語スピーキング演習第八」の主なねらいは、3、4人の話者の間で聞き話すことを通じて効果的な口頭によるコミュニケーションを行うことである。また、教科書や授業で導入された単語や文法が使えるようにすることも、授業の目標のひとつである。
この授業科目を履修することにより、学生は、3、4人またはそれ以上からなるグループでさまざまなトピックについて話し合うのに必要な技術や方法をよく知ることができる。

While we continue to use Keynote Advanced to explore a variety of issues, more emphasis is placed on group discussion throughout the course because this course is designed to help students develop skills that are becoming increasingly important in the global community: intercultural competence (the ability to work with people from culturally diverse backgrounds), active listening, and critical thinking. Students are expected to complete assignments, and come to class prepared for discussion. The class is highly interactive.
