ABOUT THIS COURSE
  In this course, you will improve your reading and speaking skills mainly.  Every week you will get a worksheet of the MS Word file in which you must fill with your answers and submit it at the end of each classwork.  You are supposed to prepare for computer work before class.
The textbook:  Edited by Shigeru Yamane & Kathleen Yamane
           ABC NEWSROOM 3.  Tokyo: Kinsei-do, 2025
  In addition to reports from around the world on such topics as "Deepfake AI Images" and "Cleaning Up Our Planet," this new edition features a balance of carefully selected, insightful stories on current issues in America.
  This textbook will help you master the English used in the news through vocabulary and comprehension exercises, and explanations regarding the background of the news stories, as well as current English usage and pronunciation.
 

*In this textbook, "ABC" indicates "American Broadcasting Companies."



For the students this year:

For your further studies, you are encouraged to watch some English News programs available on your TV.  I recommend you to watch some CNN or BBC programs if you can.
