授業の進め方

English 6 builds upon the concepts and pedagogical approach established in English 5, with continued emphasis on listening comprehension, debate, critical thinking, and collaborative discussion.

As in the previous quarter, each class session will begin with a structured discussion of the day’s topic. Students will then engage with an academic lecture drawn from a relevant disciplinary field. This will be followed by open questioning and guided commentary to promote analytical engagement and shared inquiry. This format is designed to deepen understanding of diverse perspectives and strengthen students’ ability to evaluate complex issues.

Following the lecture component, students will critically examine and discuss the central themes and arguments presented. For each topic, students will complete a short assignment, such as a brief presentation, summary, or response paper, in order to demonstrate comprehension and analytical reflection.

The goal of this course is not passive reception of lecture-style content, but active intellectual engagement. Students are expected to develop the ability both to articulate well-reasoned critical opinions and to listen thoughtfully to the perspectives of others. The classroom will function as a collaborative academic community in which students support one another’s development by contributing individual strengths and engaging constructively with differing viewpoints.If the number of students wishing to enroll exceeds the limit, enrollment may be restricted. All prospective students must attend the first class.
