学生が各自のテーマを設定し、プロジェクトを行います。そのプロジェクトを通して自分の考えを探求し成果を発信します。1・2回生では日常生活、クラブ活動、授業から自分の関心テーマを選び、プロジェクトを行います。3回生では専門分野から関心テーマを選び、よりアカデミックなプロジェクトを行います。卒業回生では卒業研究の一環として、日本語で書いた卒業論文のアブストラクト(概要)を英語で書き、口頭発表できるようにします。この授業は英語能力別にクラスを編成していません。英語運用能力が低いからといって、プレゼンテーション能力やコミュニケーション能力が低いとは限りません。英語が苦手な学生も得意な分野を活かして、積極的に授業に取り組んでいます。
Students in this program conduct their own research project on an issue which they have a strong interest in. Through their projects, they are expected to explore the issue in search for an answer to an inquiry they have made, and present the results of their project in English. Students in the freshman and sophomore years choose the topics of their projects from their everyday lives; for example, club activities or classes in the university. The junior students conduct an academic project on the topics which are closely related to their areas of study. The senior students are required to write an abstract in English for their graduation thesis written in Japanese, and give a presentation about their study. In this program, classes are not streamed based on students’proficiency since we believe that those with a lower proficiency of English do not necessarily lack presentation skills or communication ability. Instead, those who are not good at English have chances to get involved in the class work, making use of their strengths or expertise.
