Your EAP 2 classes will be:
• Student-centered, meaning students are the focus of each activity. You, not the instructor, will be doing most of the talking, directing your own learning, and sometimes teaching!
• Project-based, meaning students learn English through completion of small tasks and projects.
• Integrated, meaning tasks are not separated into language skill areas. A “listening” task will involve note-taking, writing, presenting, and discussing.
• English-only, meaning not one word of Japanese should be spoken in class. If you speak Japanese, it has a negative effect on group work. It will also affect your participation grade.
