This course takes advantage of a small class size to provide opportunities to develop practical English skills through the benefits of small group interaction and individualized feedback.

●授業内容
While the emphasis is upon writing, all classes involve some discussion in English and often video related to themes being explored in the class. In the first class we will discuss your reasons for taking the course, your interests and preferred learning style, and I will use this to plan lessons that can be both useful and enjoyable. For now, here is a tentative outline, which may change to suit your needs:
1. Introduction: the power and pleasure of writing
2. The aim and logic of different types of writing
3. Even research writing is storytelling
4. The language of flow
5. How to express your ideas carefully, with nuance
6. How to describe and explain data
7. The structure of writing for English tests
8. Common problems in writing
9. Descriptive writing
10. Self-reflection through writing
11-13. Student presentations of short writing
14. Fiction, truth and humor in writing
15. Course review

The smaller class size here provides excellent opportunities to develop English skills in effective ways suiting individual student needs. Keeping that in mind, let's work together to make our writing and other forms of communication clear, effective and even enjoyable. I will be available to help you individually with advice, feedback and support.
Outside of the class you can write as much and whatever you like and I will be happy to give you feedback anytime.
