○科目サブタイトル
How languages are learned.
○講義概要
There are two objectives of this course. The first one is to enjoy studying a typical college subject, ‘How Languages are Learned’. By the end of the course students should have a good introductory knowledge of first and second language learning. The second objective is to for students to learn the skills they will need to succeed in a content-based class taught in a North American university. Students will learn such basic skills as keyboarding, e-mailing, formatting computer documents, using group sites, and researching using the Internet. We will also work on such traditional academic skills as reading, outlining, summarizing, presenting and writing. Students will have a chance to write an exam-type essay, make a presentation, and write a longer research paper and receive feedback.
