Students who have plans to go overseas to study or conduct internship OR students who have returned from overseas study or overseas internship. 3. Students who high motivation for studying English and would like to challenge oneself regardless of students' English levels. 4. Students in special programs such as GLTP. The class limited to 30 students and will be conducted in Period 5 on Fridays. However, the schedule of this class can be re-arrangement upon agreement of all students and the teacher. This class aims to cover the following common goals of Basic English for Science (BES, Technical English in the spring) (see below) and meet the diversified and individualized needs of the registered students such as research paper reading, attending and presenting at international conferences, academic tasks of overseas universities, application to overseas study programs, and internship English, etc. Hence, this class keep a certain level of flexibility to cover the real-life needs of students. Common goals of BES program: The purpose of this course is to introduce students to more complex and academic concepts and skills of English language for science and engineering than the Basic Technical English course in the Spring semester. This course supports students in terms of applying the scientific knowledge and language in English as well as academic skills obtained in the Spring to more realistic learning and research tasks. Such tasks include academic writing (accuracy and fluency), academic discussions, presentations, student-generated research topics and scientific investigation of such topics in a small group and/or individually. Building knowledge of technical vocabulary, and developing abstract writing skills will also be addressed in this course. In other words, students will be trained to take initiative, plan their own academic research in English, and communicate their study and research in English with their peers and professors more freely. Through realistic and semi-realistic projects such as reading academic journal articles, proceedings and presentation files that interest students and may serve as justification for selecting certain research labs for their graduation research in the fourth year, students will be able to practice and use the knowledge and skills acquired in this course. Therefore, learning is closely associated with students' performance in understanding realistic materials, handling realistic tasks, and achieving realistic objectives in this course. ******* The registration of this class is done at the beginning of the academic year in April in principle. However, new students could be accepted should there be vacancy. 原則、本科目の履修登録は前期からの継続に限りますが、空きがある場合は、新しい学生を受け入れます。興味がある学生は、utejimu@g-edu.uec.ac.jpに連絡してください。 |
