学びの手立て
／Way of learning |
Attendance is part of the course evaluation and will be checked every class. Students who are absent for more than one-third of the classes will automatically fail the course. If absence is unavoidable, students must inform the instructor in advance by email and submit an official absence notice with supporting documentation.
Since many interactive activities will be conducted, students are expected to participate actively in every class.
Preparation and review are essential for improving English skills. Classes will proceed on the assumption that students have completed the required preparation. Many tasks will require students’ initiative both inside and outside the classroom, so students should manage their time responsibly.
Drawing on the instructor’s overseas experience and professional translation background, the course will provide practical and high-quality English learning opportunities. |
