ECA (英語基礎表現) II (P): 秋期末プロジェクト、まとめ

Hello and Happy New Year!



How are you? Today let me show you the final project (期末作文) and wrap-up (まとめ) for the fall semester (秋学期).

We will do two things:

1. Short presentation with writing
Your presentation will be a display with writing and pictures on it. Your topic is about the future (将来、未来). Your title is: My future dreams and plans. This will be the final writing assignment (期末作文) for the class.  

Think about these things: What kind of job and career do you want when you finish Seigakuin? Where do you want to live? What kind of life do you want to have - in a small town, or maybe in a big city like Tokyo? Do you want to get married and have children? (It's okay if you don't.)

You can make your poster colorful, but here is an example (例えば) of the kind of design you can do:


I would like you to do this on A3 size paper. You can use photos or draw pictures. Have fun with this!

2. Short listening test
I have said before that I do not like paper tests, and do not like giving them. I also know you do not like taking tests! I feel we have done a lot of listening practice with the TOEIC book. But the Seikei department (学科) really wants you to get higher TOEIC scores.

So, I have to give a short listening test. I really do not want to do it, and it is not on the syllabus. I'm very sorry about this! So I will make this test about things we have studied in the TOEIC book this semester (秋学期).

Our schedule
Here is our schedule:

1/12 - show the final project and wrap-up (まとめ) points and schedule
1/12 - begin work on presentation poster writing ideas
1/19 - short listening test
            work on posters and writing with teacher check and advice
1/26 - present posters in groups in class
1/26 - turn in (提出する) posters

Good luck! I will look forward to seeing your posters and read your writing about your future dreams and plans.

See you next week!

ECA (英語基礎表現) II (P): 面白いスポーツ

Hello!


How are you? Today let's look at some different sports in different countries. 

First - here's a video of a popular sport in Ireland called hurling. What do you think of it? It's a very fast sport - so watch the video more than once! What other sports is hurling like?


Next - here's a sport some of you may have heard of from Thailand - muay thai. What do you think of it? It's also fast - so watch the video more than once! What other sports is muay thai like? 


Finally - this is a sport I watched as a child in Australia - Australian rules football. What do you think of it? It's another fast sport - so watch it more than once! What other sports is Australian football like?



Activity/homework 
Watch these videos, and answer these questions in your notebooks:

1. What equipment and skills do you think you need for hurling?
2. What equipment and skills do you think you need for muay thai?
3. What equipment and skills do you think you need for Australian rules football?

Have fun!
