How to dialogue to share your opinion and listen to others
Sophie Muller （ミュレール）
（前期のみ） 火３
Key Words: Sharing opinion; listening; unbiased research; meditation; empathy; dialogue; self-confidence; open-mindedness
To express your opinion, you need to be calm and centered: that is why we will meditate in class, every week. To understand your opinion, you need to look at its origin, where it comes from. To develop your opinion, you need to learn to do research on the Internet so that you can find many different perspectives. To be able to share your opinion so that others listen to you, you need to express yourself positively and respectfully, while also listening to others with warmth and empathy. In order to increase your self-confidence and open-mindedness you need to practice all these skills as often as possible. In this class, you will think about two topics chosen by your teacher (education & tattoos), and two topics you will choose by yourself. Ready to meditate, think, research, speak and listen?
Storytelling and Drama
Ashley Ford （フォード）
（前期） 水１/（後期） 火３・水１
Key Words: Communication, Performance, Storytelling, Drama, Oral Interpretation
This section will focus on the practice of communication and presentation skills through storytelling and the use of methods and strategies from speech, drama, and the arts, with activities such as oral interpretation and reader's theater, as well as the use of authentic English materials from music, poetry, and literature as content for study. Practice and performance in this way will stimulate and motivate you to use English as well as strengthen your overall communication skills and confidence in English!
Student Comments:
I learned that it is more important to think deeply than to speak English well. However well a person may speak English, he can't give a good speech without thinking deeply.
