≪Extensive Reading Program @ Tohoku University≫

The Extensive Reading @ Tohoku University project was started in 2009 by

an English teacher in the Center for the Advancement of Higher Education.

It currently has two main areas of activity:

1. Extensive Reading Classes (Eigo A1, Eigo A2, Eigo C1R, and Eigo C2R)

These are currently taught by five CAHE teachers using a common curriculum.

2. Support for Extensive Reading

In order to promote extensive reading among Tohoku University students

and staff, as well as members of the general public, various resources

have been set up.

These include:

  – the Readers Corner in the Tohoku University Library currently has

    over 4,000 books

  – the Readers website

  – various seminars and events to explain and promote extensive reading

We are currently recruiting full-time and part-time teachers to start

using extensive reading in Eigo A1 or Eigo A2 classes at Tohoku

University for the 2013-14 academic year.

The Project will provide guidance, a class set of readers, and a sample

curriculum for teachers to use.
