MODEL SYLLABUS- SPRING TERM The following model syllabus represents how we envision this textbook to be used at the university level. It is based on a typical 15-week term . Whether or not you currently teach at a Japanese university, we hope you will find this model helpful as you construct your own syllabus. You can also download an editable version in .doc format in the Teacher Site section of cic-multimedia.com. Course goals This class will help students improve their English conversation skills. Clear training in how to speak English like a native speaker will be given. Students will understand key differences between Japanese and Western cultural speaking styles in order to communicate more effectively. Students will also spend much time in class learning vocabulary and speaking with classmates about everyday life topics, such as: getting acquainted, daily life routines, hometowns, and travel. By the end of the term, if students work hard, they will be able to speak English more fluently, accurately, and with more complexity than they could at the start of the year.
