報告者 ジェラード マーシェソ

1.学長の定める重点目標

1-1.大学教員としての授業実践

(1)目標・計画

I will focus on improving students practical communicative ability in my University classes as follows:
·Classes will be conducted using English providing ample L2 (English) input for students
·Lessons will be task-based, requiring students to negotiate meaningful content and solve problems using English.
·In 小学校英語演習 students will be given English reading material before class.  During class, the content of the reading will be reviewed and discuss.  Then, following class students will be encouraged to re-read the material, thus encountering the same English content at least three times in a natural setting. The material used in class will also be authentic and meaningful:
·Material for 英語コミュニケーション classes will be derived from the internet and other authentic sources and will also include student-generated material. Education-related classes (初等英語教育 and 小学校英語演習) will include material and video from the classroom at 附属小学校).

(2)点検・評価

·English communication classes have been conducted using all English which necessitates that student use English for communication

·Lessons have been task-based with a lot of group work, requiring students to use English in class.  Authentic material has been used whenever possible to increase students’ motivation and provide real-life, realistic input

·In 小学校英語演習, has been similar to a content-based English class, focusing on various issues in ‘teaching English as a foreign language’.  Students have read authentic material and encountered the same vocabulary several times in the reading/lectures and group work in class.  It is felt that this is a good way to learn both content knowledge and improve English ability.

·In 初等英語教育, the focus was on teaching practice.  Various activites were introduced which had been conducted previously with elementary school students.  Material was also introduced by showing video of elementary school classes.  The goal was to bring the authentic elementary school English class experience into the University setting.  It is fel t that this aim was achieved.
