○科目サブタイトル
Skills for an English Content-based Class: How Languages are Learned
○講義概要
The objective of this class is to for students to learn the skills they will need to succeed in an English content-based class taught all in English. To practice our skills, we will use a model subject, 'How Languages are Learned'. We will learn such basic skills as keyboarding, emailing, researching using the Internet, and formatting documents on a computer. We will also work on such core academic skills as reading, outlining, and summarizing. All of these skills will end in making a presentation, writing the exam type essay and writing a longer research paper.
