●本授業の目的およびねらい
本授業は、学術的な英文に関する基礎的なリーディング能力とライティング能力の養成を目的とする。そのねらいは、研究拠点大学である名古屋大学の学生にふさわしい学術英語を使いこなす能力を身につけるところにある。論理的な英文のカギとなるパラグラフの構造に着目し、目的に応じて必要な情報をいかに読みとるか、また逆に、自分の考えをその根拠とともにいかに説得力ある論理的な英文に組み立てるかを学ぶ。将来、専門の論文を英語で読んだり書いたりする時に、指針となる英文構成法の基礎、および実際に役立つ英語表現を多く習得する。

●担当者からの言葉(Webページのみ表示)
Across all topics and levels of teaching, I generally believe that the ultimate goal of teaching is to help students to develop self-confidence. I would like to stimulate students to find their own motivation for study and assist them in developing their own approach towards topics of their interest (in this case, English as a second language) so that they become an independent learner. In order to achieve my ultimate goal of helping them to develop confidence and independent attitude, I would like to make it my common practice to review common sense and follow the principles and teachings in The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People (Covey, 1989). That is, I would like to make sure that students become/remain proactive by focusing on what can be controlled rather than what cannot be controlled, have specific goals in mind, and set their priorities straight to achieve what is truly important in the long-run. Because second language acquisition requires painstaking commitment, unlike acquisition of the first language, the proactive, ambitious, and independent attitudes are, I believe, particularly crucial. In assisting students to become mature by developing the above habits, I will be careful not to impose my own perspectives and will review my approaches and missions periodically so that I can understand issues with different paradigms in mind. Last but not least, this course must be effective especially for those who did not bother to read my comments and for those who gave up reading halfway before reaching this line :) Students should be more confident in their English ability by perceiving their "English" glass to be half full, as opposed to half empty. I would like my students to celebrate what they have acquired so far and enjoy studying English.
