Learners in Japan need well structured lessons with clear goals. Language should be presented in a meaningful way and practiced with an emphasis on fluency and accuracy. Feedback from the teach is essential and should always be given in a constructive and motivating fashion. Learners should also be instructed in how they can become more autonomous with self-study materials recommended and utilized in the class. Recycling of language is essential and a relaxed, fun, atmosphere created to encourage learners to speak out, express themselves to the best of their ability, and ask questions when necessary. 【Contents】-This Upper Intermediate course will contain topic based lessons which will combine language development with a skills focus to help students expand their vocabulary, grammatical range and accuracy and functional ability. 【Method】-In this class I will employ the communicative approach whereby students will emphasise meaningful interaction between students. 【Mode】- Language will be presented and practised first in a controlled, then in freer situations. Students will work in pairs, and groups with correction from the teacher. The students will be given homework assignments in the form of written work, reading or web-based research. 【Aims】-?
