Course description and aims
“Oral Expression in English” courses are devoted to improving students’ skills in speaking. Apart from the context of giving presentations, effective speaking also involves effective listening, so the classwork and homework in these courses require students engaged in speech and listening exercises.
As an undergraduate elective 300-level course, Oral Expression in English 10 offers study at a higher level than the 200-level electives, and extends the materials and approach of Oral Expression in English 9. There is a specific focus on generating effective oral communication on general interesting issues, involving listening and speaking in pairs of speakers and in small groups. Objectives also include using vocabulary and grammar introduced in the classes.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to discuss a broader range of important social, economic and socio-political issues concerning Japan and other countries.
