This paper attempts to revisit English language education at university level in terms of its objectives and learning activities in the classroom. English language education at university level has been swayed and influenced by the New Course of Study for junior and senior high schools and by the new general official requirements for the inauguration of colleges, both of which reflect current social and cultural needs toward further internationalization and informationalization of Japan. University English teachers started to shift their curricula to meet both such needs and their students' personal needs. They do understand the situation and realize the necessity to reform their English classes. However, there has been little frank and constructive discussion on in which direction the classes are actually to be headed, which is closely related to the objectives of English education at university level, and the way how English teachers should organize their English classes. In this paper I try to describe some main objectives of English language teaching at university level from my own point of view. I also propose reading-centered integrated language activites in the university classroom with the belief that reading should be placed in the center of the university language curriculum.
