表示

高２・３文系生徒対象の選択授業「アカデミック英語」は、１０年後、アジアでグローバルリーダーとして活躍する人財を育てるための本校独自の科目です（２０１３年度より「２１世紀」に改称）。アメリカの大学授業を想定したゼミ形式（対話型）の少人数授業で、英語でグローバル政治・経済情勢を議論し、同時に効果的なエッセイの書き方やプレゼンテーションの方法を学びます。その際、マインドマップ技法やＩＣＴをフル活用し、クリエイティブな思考を技化する訓練も行います。高３時には、東大の要約問題や一橋大の英作文問題をはじめとした難関大学入試問題演習も行われます。もちろん、授業は全て英語で行われるイマージョン方式です。 　＊ターム留学からの帰国生がクラスの半数を占めています。 Meiho's Academic English Preparing for Academic Prowess ＆ Global Participation Today's Japanese students have two needs when it comes to English education: passing university entrance examinations and using English in the job market.
