Hello!!
This time, I'll show you my classes of UCR(University of Clifornia Riverside) Extension.
I'm not in trouble on daily life because this is not my first stay in U.S.A. I was looking forward to attending lectures before I did, but it is really tough to follow classes although it is interesting honestly.
UPP, my cource, has 3 3classes in the morning and 2 classes in the afternoon. I take Speaking, Reading and Writing in the morning and these are all preparation classes for entering university. For instance, I am required to do presentation in the Speaking class. This week's assignment is to interview with at least 2 Americans about University life in U.S.A. and do presentation in th class. I've never had homework like this in Japan, so I'm confused how to talk to American whom I don't know.
The rest of classes in the morning are Reading and Writing. But there is no difference between both of these two classes. One teacher manages these classes.
In the afternoon, I have two classes. One of them is "Academic Skill", another is elective class. In th "Academic Skill" class, I learned skill of Notetaking this week but what teacher said was so fast that I couldn't catch up with his saying in detail. So I couldn't take note. By the way, other courses menu except UPP are grammar and vocabulary and so on.
The last class is elective class. This class is for students who got a certain score in the fast test and student can choose one class among some classes which are offered. I really enjoy my class "English through film" because I came U.S.A. to studu film. This class is goingwith stopping videotape little by little, scene by scene and we learn phrass used in the scene. We are planning to see 4 or 5 movies in 10weeks, 40 hours.
I hope my English skill will be improved after this 10-week program and make good relationship with my classmate.
そして1日の最後は選択クラス。このクラスはUPPとは別に、最初のクラス分けのテストである一定基準に達した人のみが取れる複数あるカリキュラムの中から1クラスを選択できるというもので、自分の選んだEnglish through Film は映画を勉強するために来たこともあって、UPPとは違って、かなり楽しみながら受けています。具体的には少しずつ、場面ごとにビデオを止めて、その場面で使われていたフレーズなどを学ぶというやり方で、10週間40時間で4、5本の映画を見る予定です。
