Course Aims コースの目的
To develop students’ speaking and writing communicative abilities. A very famous
Educational Psychologist, Vygotsky (1978), said that for either first or foreign language
learning is best done by using the language in meaningful social interaction. A lot of research
has shown that students who use language perform better on examinations. コースの目的は話し
たり書いたりするコミュニケーション能力の上達です。非常に有名な教育心理学者 Vygotsky (1978)は、
第一言語や外国語学習は重要な社会的相互作用に言語を使用することによって最も上達すると言って
います。多くの研究が、言語をよく使用する学生が試験の結果もよいといっています。

If you have problems… もし問題があったら…
A moment of shame of asking a question prevents a lifetime of not knowing (and on-going shame). A
western view is that if you don’t ask, you don’t learn; and that there is no shame is asking a question.
聞くは一時の恥。聞かぬは一生の恥。西洋の観点ではもし尋ねなければあなたは学ばないと考えられ
ています。質問をすることは決して恥ではありません。
Assessments 評価方法
Note: Because I have over 250 students, in many classes doing various courses with different
assessment schedules, it is difficult for any teacher to keep track of each student. So it is important that
you submit all work on time, otherwise please e-mail me in advance or bring a medical certificate to
OCB Sem1, Page 2 of 38

How to pass this class
It is really easy to pass (if you try).
 Come to every class. すべてのクラスに出席
してください。
 Review and preview every class. 毎クラス予
習復習をしてください。
 Practice speaking in every class. スピーキン
グの練習を毎クラスしてください。
 Ask questions (I like answering questions). も
しわからないことがあれば恥ずかしがらず質
問してください。質問は大歓迎です。
 Have fun.  楽しんでください。
 Also, build up your vocabulary. Get a little
notebook (see right) and write in some
interesting words, expressions and sample
sentences each week during class. Research
shows that this is a very good learning
strategy (McCrostie, 2007).
また、語彙を増やしてください。小さいノート(上
記写真)を購入してください。そして、毎週、授業
中に出会ったいくつかの興味深い単語、表現方法、
例文を書いてください。研究では、これが非常に
良い学習方法であることを示しています。

Practice 練習
Research by Hato (2005, cited in Fukuda & Yoshida, 2013) reports that on average, Japanese high
school students graduate with only 920 hours of English lessons. However, most Japanese people need
between 2,000 to 5,000 hours of study to attain basic proficiency of English (Nakashima, 2006, cited
in Fukuda & Yoshida, 2013). So, 90 minutes a week for 14 weeks (each semester), which is only 42
hours per annum, will not make you into a native speaker. You need to practice using English in class,
and outside of the classroom. Use the audio material that came with your textbook, look for interesting
and simple news articles on http://www.japantimes.co.jp/ and http://bbc.co.uk websites, and also listen
to podcasts. 羽藤の研究（2005 年福田&吉田 2013 年の引用）によると、日本の高校生は 920 時間の
英語の授業を受けていることになる。しかしながら、基礎的な熟達に到達する為には日本人のほとん
どは 2000 から 5000 時間の勉強が必要とである。(中島 2006 年、福田＆吉田 2013 年の引用)。従って、
1 学期 14 週間 1 週間 90 分即ち、1 学期 42 時間ではネイティブスピーカーになりません。教室外でも
英語を練習する必要があります。あなたの教科書についている CD を聞いたり、
http://www.japantimes.co.jp/ and http://bbc.co.uk の興味ある簡単なニュース記事をさがしたり、ポッドキ
ャストを聞いたりしてください。

Pronunciation Activities
Pronunciation Practice: Japanese Names
When Japanese people say their names, they use Japanese pronunciation style, which is
almost impossible for a regular native speaker to understand. You should use English
phonology to make it easier for non-Japanese to understand you. Example:
A: Hi, I’ve not met you before.
B: Hi, I’m /murʌkʌmihʌɾuki/ 
A: Eh? Sorry? What? 
B: Oh, it’s /.hʌˡru.ki/ /.mu.rʌˡka:.mi/ 
a. What is the difference between the two ways to say the Japanese name? b. What do these symbols mean? 1. ˡ
2. .
3. / /
4. ʌ
5. ɾ
6. r
7. :
8. 
9. ә
10. ʤ
11. 
12. tʃ
13. f
14. ɸ
15. j
