講座内容
この講座では、英語の「聞く（理解）力」と「話す力」を養います。If you want to improve your English abilities, this course can help. In this Autumn term, we’ll do four news stories similar to the stories in the “News Tapes” books that were the original materials in this class. Each student will receive a CD containing the four stories. In class, you’ll receive an A3-sized copy of the two transcription pages of an assigned story. Most of the words in the story are missing. At home, transcribe it (listen to the story and fill in the blanks with the words you hear), then bring the paper to class the following week. Through this individual listening and transcription work at home and group discussion and pair work in class, you’ll have plenty of practice listening and speaking. It’s a great way to build vocabulary, improve listening comprehension, and reinforce good grammar, pronunciation, intonation, and spelling.
