■ 改善への取り組み

前年度(2025年度分)の点検・評価項目
●１．授業の方針や授業計画と実際の授業の内容及び授業目標の達成度
I was able to follow the scope and sequence as outlined in my syllabi for all my courses, with minor adjustments made for actual classes and language proficiency levels of the students in each course. (The possibilities for such adjustments had also been stated in the syllabi.) The grading criteria on the syllabi were also conveyed clearly in the classroom on Powerpoint as well as in Google Classroom, and they were followed faithfully.
●２．（１）教育内容・方法の工夫
In previous years, some students in my Global Community English courses tended not to respond very well to open-ended instructions such as "Read as much as you can, at your own pace" in the XReading (Extensive reading and listening online program) which is part of all the class levels in this course.I replaced such instructions with clear minimum word count, gave a monthly assignment with clear due dates, shared progress reports with the class, and provided incentive bonus points for effort to those who read beyond the assigned number of words. This added structure clearly helped to guide and motivate the students to complete at least the minimum, with several students reading substantially more by the end of each month.
●４．学生による本学の授業評価アンケートの実施、分析、結果の活用状況
Responses to the offical University course evaluation questionnarie were requested in all classes except in those involving international students. Although the number of actual responses vaired by class, the large majority of those received were thankfully positive. As students tend not write much in the "Comments" section, I also gave an informal (and anonymous) questionnaire in my Global Community English classes to provide further comments. As many students said that online vocabulary work using instructor-made sets in Quizlet was very useful for them to recall newly-learned words, I am increasing the number of vocabulary sets in Quizlet this year.
●５．授業公開の実施状況
MCP（Popular MusicⅡ）_42を公開し、参観者は0人だった。Though beyond the scope of this report, I offered MCP (Popular Music I) for observation again in Sem. 1, AY2026,and was pleased to welcome one keen observing teacher for this course.
●７．学生からの勉学（単位僅少学生への対応など）、生活、進路・就職などの相談への対応
As stated last year, I have made it a consistent classroom rule for students to email me in advance for their absences and lateness, If email was difficult, I also allowed them to use the chat function in AY 2025. The rate of student response increased from about 50% in AY2024 to about 75% in AY2025, with most students using Alpha email. This has enabled me to have informed conversations with more students individually about the underlying reasons for their repeated absence or lateness, and for many of them to start working positively on making their life as a university student healthier and more manageable.
