00:00:05,850 --> 00:00:07,470
TAKAKO AIKAWA: So
the development

2
00:00:07,470 --> 00:00:12,450
of speaking and listening
requires interactions

3
00:00:12,450 --> 00:00:14,370
with somebody else.

4
00:00:14,370 --> 00:00:19,380
So that has to be
done in classroom

5
00:00:19,380 --> 00:00:22,830
because there are not so many
Japanese people on campus

6
00:00:22,830 --> 00:00:24,900
at MIT.

7
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:29,220
So classroom activities really
focus on the development

8
00:00:29,220 --> 00:00:32,530
of listening and speaking.

9
00:00:32,530 --> 00:00:36,000
Whereas reading and
writing, students

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,320
can do them outside of class.

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,780
And then, in
particular, our textbook

12
00:00:42,780 --> 00:00:44,880
has a so-called workbook.

13
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,970
And then they can do writing
practice by themselves.

14
00:00:48,970 --> 00:00:54,810
In fact, we provide assignments
so that they can just

15
00:00:54,810 --> 00:00:57,030
practice writing at home.

16
00:00:57,030 --> 00:01:01,860
For reading, our textbook
has a reading section

17
00:01:01,860 --> 00:01:03,870
for each lesson.

18
00:01:03,870 --> 00:01:09,510
And we provide a
reading session one day

19
00:01:09,510 --> 00:01:12,350
for each lesson in class.
