<概要/Course Content Summary>

This course is designed for students whose TOEFL-ITP score fall within, or near the following range: 520 and above. 
 
This course will focus on the development of reading skills and vocabulary and includes interesting and thought-provoking opportunities for oral practice. By using more controversial topics and by presenting and exploring them from different viewpoints, learners are encouraged to form, share, and contest opinions by using English as the means for communication. 
 
This class will be conducted completely online. We will use an on-demand, password-protected video system. A typical class will usually follow this style. I will give you an assignment to complete. After you finish it, you will make and upload a video to the system. Other students will be able to watch your video and respond to it with a video of their own. This means you will be able to communicate with each other through your own videos. Also, I will give video lectures. I will provide more information about this system through DUET during the first lesson. There is no need to use a computer. Everything can be done through your smartphone.
