| 授業概要 | This class will focus on reading and speaking. As Profs. Loy and Watts are specialists in religion and social issues， the topic for both classes (Tuesday and Friday) is spirituality in daily life (日常精神的な生活). There will be three basic themes: everyday life， the environment， and society. Each theme will be related to the practice of “mindfulness” ［becoming aware of how our thoughts， words and actions have an affect］ in our daily lives， our environment and our society. The readings will come from a variety of different sources. The articles will not be too academic， but rather more personal in style. |
| 授業計画 | This class is for high-intermediate and advanced level students of English. Classes with both teachers， Loy and Watts， will be coordinated. We will read one article for one week – in the two classes during that one week， the first class will focus on basic comprehension of the article and any technical language questions; the second class will discuss the content and meaning of the article. Homework will be to read the article and be ready to answer the study questions. There will be three unit tests which correspond to the three topics of daily life， environment， and society. No final exam. For students who need to improve their vocabulary and reading abilities， especially in preparation for the TOEFL， this class will be ideal. |
