Interaction

  • 科目の紹介

    This course will introduce language and strategies that will help you to communicate more effectively in English. This includes things like sharing opinions, making suggestions, giving instructions, requesting information, and clarifying ideas to help other people understand you more clearly. You will see words and phrases that are useful for talking about a particular topic, or for interacting in a particular situation. You will watch and listen to examples of how to use this language in conversations. Then, you will use the language to communicate with your classmates, to solve problems or complete tasks together. In addition to a variety of activities during class time, you will also be encouraged to practice outside of class, by visiting the university’s English House to meet and talk to different people there.。

    〈先生からのメッセージ〉

    In my class, we will try to spend as much time as possible practicing your speaking and listening skills in conversations with partners and groups. The whole class will be in English – that means that I will speak to you in English, the textbook and everything that we watch and listen to will be in English, and you should do your best to talk to me and other students in English. Don’t worry, you don’t have to speak English perfectly to do well in this class. If you try to take part and practice, your communication skills will improve. Ask me a question any time that you want to.

By working together with your teacher and other students, you will develop the skills and confidence to enjoy writing in English. As both a Japanese learner and an experienced academic writing teacher, I know how difficult writing in any language is. We all make mistakes when we write (Even teachers)! I believe that cooperating with your teacher and other students is key to learning. We will support each other to improve our writing.

CALL

  • 科目の紹介

    This course aims to improve students' English listening skills and vocabulary knowledge by using the online CALL materials developed by Chiba University. Listening to natural English is a challenging task. This is because it requires the listener to compensate for imperfect spoken language with a variety of knowledge and information, and to perform sophisticated information processing. Chiba University's CALL materials are designed so that students can learn this difficult task without too much difficulty. Students work at their own pace, using materials appropriate to their English ability. The listening and vocabulary skills acquired will also form the foundation for speaking, reading, and writing skills.

    〈先生からのメッセージ〉

    千葉大学はCALL（Computer-assisted Language Learning）の分野では先駆的な役割を担ってきており、CALLは本学の英語教育の特色の１つです。この科目で使われているLTM-CALL教材シリーズは、千葉大学の教員が中心となって約30年にわたり継続的に開発され、多くの学生がそれを使って英語を学び、英語力をアップさせてきました。動画で生の英語を楽しみながら、妥当性の高い理論に基づいた方法で学習することで、「雑音にしか聞こえなかった音声が意味のあるものに聞こえてきた！」という感覚を、みなさんにもぜひ味わってほしいと思います。

Critical Thinking in English

  • 科目の紹介

    This class introduces various aspects of critical thinking, including recognising, analysing and evaluating arguments. It also includes practice in reading, listening, speaking and a little writing in English. The course covers a range of themes from familiar, personal topics such as SNS to more far-reaching issues such as workplace culture. For each theme, you will receive information through either reading or listening, consider a related aspect of critical thinking, research the theme by yourself and discuss your ideas and arguments with your classmates.

    〈先生からのメッセージ〉

    I hope that you will not only enjoy this course, but also be able to use what you learn about critical thinking to good effect outside the classroom. It may help you with your writing, discussions or presentations, and in your everyday life with your digital literacy and decision-making. In the course, the focus is on developing an ability to express yourself logically using reliable and relevant support for your ideas rather than on having the “correct answer”. Additionally, you will improve your ability to analyse the claims that you read and hear around you. This is a skill that anyone can develop with practice, and as you will be taking the class in English, you’ll improve your English at the same time.

English for Specific Fields

  • 科目の紹介

    English for Specific Fields (ESF) is not just one course, but many. Each course was created based on a needs analysis from your own department or faculty. Some courses take a more general academic approach, while others use more subject specific texts and introduce vocabulary directly related to your subject. In each case, the course aims to equip you with some of the English language and skills you will need when studying your own chosen subject. For a detailed view of the syllabus for your ESF course, please refer to Portal.

    〈先生からのメッセージ〉

    The ESF courses are a great way to further develop the English skills that you learned in your first year. We aim to address your needs for your own major, and hope that we can help you in your future studies. It is incredibly interesting creating and teaching these courses and I find that I can learn a little about students’ subjects as I help you with your English. If you have any comments about your ESF course or suggestions for content that could be included, don’t wait for the end-of-semester questionnaire; please feel free to contact me at any time. I hope you will enjoy your courses as much as I enjoy teaching them.

CALL2

  • 科目の紹介

    CALL2 is an on-demand course that uses LTM-CALL materials. The aim of this course is to improve your English communication skills by improving your listening skills and your spoken vocabulary. You can learn at your own pace with materials that match your level and interests. Videos filmed at universities in the U.S., U.K., and Australia allow you to listen to students and professors speak in English, simulating the experience of studying abroad at universities in those countries. Additionally, there are materials available to learn about nature and people in Canada through videos taken in the country. In addition to learning from the listening materials, you will also increase your range of vocabulary. The vocabulary learning materials are designed to assist in the use of appropriate phrases, particularly in listening and speaking, through an 8-step learning process.

    〈先生からのメッセージ〉

    Do you ever find yourself smiling when speaking to international students in English, even though you don't understand what they're saying? Improve your listening skills in a scientifically proven way and you will develop your speaking and reading skills as well. All materials are based on the Three-step Auditory Comprehension Approach.
