Another is to teach socially appropriate language forms to improve the effectiveness of students' abilities to communicate in English. Students are encouraged to think about writing to "keypals," in other words, to correspond with a partner in English by email.
Students read in class about social situations and participate in selecting strategies for dealing with the situations. Students are expected to discuss listening tasks which show how the meaning of utterances lead to differing interpretations of the intentions of the participants due to cultural values. They will also be expected to do role plays with Speech Acts. Supplemental materials include video clips from movies along with transcripts to be used for analysis and discussion. Students will gather their own Speech Act data.
The goal of this course is to help students improve their writing in
English. Students will write about themselves, their friends, and their
interests, directly in English. This is not a translation class! It is
hoped that the students will gain confidence in writing good
paragraphs, learn to correct their basic mistakes, and enjoy writing in
English. Textbook: Can't Stop Writing. Manabu Miyata and Joseph Stavoy.

Seibido Publishers. Linguistics is the scientific study of language.The main goal of this
class is to give students a better understanding of language and of the
similarities and differences between human languages. In the first
semester, we will think about the nature of language: What is language?
How is human language different from animal communication? How do
children learn language? How do linguists study language? Then we will
study about the sounds of languages. We will learn the IPA symbols for
consonants and vowels and practice using them. At the end of the
semester, we will look at words and how they are built up from smaller
parts, and then how words combine to form sentences. Throughout the
semester, we will read and listen to data [samples of language] from
many different languages of the world. This course will encourage plenty of on line interaction between the students, and the students with the teacher, in learning about the use of pragmatics for effective conversation in English.
