Aiming for a fruitful study abroad program, a small number of students, level-based lessons in all XNUMX courses

 The new faculty will continue to graduate for one year from the second half of the second year through a thorough program to improve English proficiency and practical lessons in English after returning to Japan, centered on studying abroad at overseas partner universities * 2. We aim to develop global human resources who have the ability of TOEIC® 1 or higher and who have acquired the ability of English plus alpha.Such a mechanism itself may not be so rare now, but the essence of the new faculty is to organically relate each of the three stages of pre-study abroad, during study abroad, and post-study abroad. ..Also, in the first half of the "English Intensive Program", it seems that thorough relevance is indispensable.It is quite difficult for students to associate the knowledge provided separately with their own personality.This is especially true for foreign language classes where it is absolutely necessary to repeatedly touch the same content.All of them were born after thoroughly thinking about what kind of programs and classes are for students to improve their English proficiency.

 Specifically, for the first year and a half from admission to study abroad, we set a clear goal of making study abroad a success, not only for the students themselves but also for the teachers, and spent days of "immersing themselves in English" to strengthen their English proficiency. I will ask you to do it.There are 1 lessons per week to improve English proficiency.The four skills of reading, speaking, listening, and writing, especially the output, are emphasized, and the six frames are grouped into six units, and instead of learning separately for each skill, the four skills are comprehensively learned. I aim to keep up with.

 We will set the achievement criteria for English proficiency in stages according to our university * 2, and based on that, we will offer 6 classes according to ability. One class will be a small group of 1 students or less, one semester will be divided into two every eight weeks, one and a half years will be a total of six courses, and after each course, the achievement level will be measured and classes will be changed.I think that the class change during this period is 15 times, and so far it is about 1 times, but compared to that, it is thought that the goal consciousness can be maintained much more.In addition, English classes are 8 and a half hours a week, including "Career English", which is a TOEIC® measure once a week.In addition, at the newly established Learning Commons, undergraduate students voluntarily take online e-learning as part of their 2 credits, and we can check all of them.

* 1: In principle, it is compulsory, and aspiring English teachers will be for half a year.
* 2: Refers to CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages), etc.
