Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review
It is desirable to actively collect related materials and information by using time other than class hours. Let's aim at composition and practice of lessons that can demonstrate ourselves. 
Requirements You have to take this class in conjunction with "Planning and Guidance English Lecture." This course is the practitioner-oriented counterpart to the pre-requisite course and serves as its final assessment. 
Grading Method Students are expected to bring actual materials (e.g., realia, designed worksheets) to simulated lessons. We will comprehensively evaluate student performance with a rubric that includes the degree of effort towards class activities (e.g., usage of developed materials, structure of simulated lessons, presence of language and cultural accommodations, etc.) (60%) and task report after simulated lesson practice (40%). 
Practical Experience
