Plagiarism (盗作) is not tolerated and you may receive 0%. You must actually do the task, no copy & pasting or academic dishonesty. Communicative ability is much more important than grammar. You need to communicate your ideas effectively using either writing or speaking. コミュニケーション能力は文法を学習するだけより
はるかに重要です。書いたり話したりする能力を使って有効にあなたの考えを伝える必要があります。
How to pass this class You can pass this class, if you try.
Come to every class. すべてのクラスに出席し
てください。 Review and preview every class. 毎クラス予習
復習をしてください。 Practice speaking in every class. スピーキング
の練習を毎クラスしてください。 Ask questions (I like answering questions). も
しわからないことがあれば恥ずかしがらず質問
してください。質問は大歓迎です。 Have fun. 楽しんでください。 Also, build up your vocabulary. Get a little
notebook (see right) and write in some interesting words, expressions and sample sentences each week during class. Research shows that this is a very good learning strategy (McCrostie, 2007).
Practice 練習 Research by Hato (2005, cited in Fukuda & Yoshida, 2013) reports that on average, Japanese high school students graduate with only 920 hours of English lessons. However, most Japanese people need between 2,000 to 5,000 hours of study to attain basic proficiency of English (Nakashima, 2006, cited in Fukuda & Yoshida, 2013). So, 90 minutes a week for 14 weeks (each semester), which is only 42 hours per annum, will not make you into a native speaker. You need to practice using English in class, and outside of the classroom. Use the audio material that came with your textbook, look for interesting and simple news articles on http://www.japantimes.co.jp/ and http://bbc.co.uk websites, and also listen to podcasts. 羽藤の研究(2005 年 福田&吉田 2013 年の引用)によると、日本の高校

If you have problems… もし問題があったら… A moment of shame of asking a question prevents a lifetime of not knowing (and on‐going shame). A western view is that if you don’t ask, you don’t learn; and that there is no shame is asking a question. 聞くは一時の恥。聞かぬは一生の恥。西洋の観点ではもし尋ねなければあなたは学ばないと考えられ
