メッセージ
For students who have recently graduated from undergraduate courses, this course enables you to further specialize your skills and gain valuable knowledge from experienced teachers who are brushing up their skills or English skills to improve their job opportunities and ability to answer to their students’ needs. Since only a very limited number of applicants are accepted into this course, you can quickly get to know both staff and teachers in a relaxed study environment.

その他
- Through my course/seminar, I hope to provide perspectives regarding English education as a native speaker, and also from my experience teaching literacy in an immersion preschool and as an ALT. I also hope to help you develop your English skills.
- In my graduate course, I aim to introduce different approaches towards using reading materials that are both authentic, or textbook related reading materials. You will have opportunities to plan, practice and discuss ways of using reading materials with other students. This course is conducted in English.
