| Course description |
| This course aims to improve each student’s ability to plan and deliver effective presentations in English. Students will also continue to develop their speaking fluency and communication skills in English through discussions on various issues of academic interests. This course is mandatory for second-year students as an introduction to the English curriculum of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology. |
| Expected Learning |
| Students will develop English presentation skills and speaking ability so that they can make presentations and discuss about academic issues for an extended period of time. They should be able to follow normal presentation procedures used at conferences, and will be expected to use these skills, as well as skills learned during the English Discussion course, actively in every lesson. Finally, they should be able to do their own research on various topics and present them in front of their colleagues. |
