Scientists all over the world share their results and discoveries to advance our knowledge of science in all fields by using the common language: Scientific English. This lecture provides students to learn what Scientific English is and to familiarise themselves with the basics of Scientific English through reading, writing, presenting their science results, asking questions, and answering the questions. For some part of the lectures, students work as a group to achieve somegoals of each session.
This lecture will offer students opportunities to get used to use Scientific English as a communication tool by writing, reading, and presenting their results as well as learning the results of their peers in Scientific English. The students will improve their vocabulary, in particular, in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields and their communication skill by taking this course.
This lecture may be given in Japanese as well as English, depending on the level of the students. Students must read the textbooks and use the resources to be provided as much as they can to familiarise themselves with Scientific English. Students may be asked to pick up their research projects to present the results in front of their class.
