In 1998, Ito, Imazato, Nakamura and the author of the present paper organized a research project titled "A Study of 'Integrated English' Class" and discussed the concept, contents and teaching methods of "Integrated English," showed syllabi for several prototype classes and possible problems, and published the result of their examination in the previous number of this Journal. The present paper reports what was actually done in the class of "Integrated English" which was taught by the author, and students' responses to the class. First, the aim of the course which was titled "An Introduction to Men's Studies," textbooks, syllabus, and class procedure were described. Then the students' responses, which were collected by a questionaire survey, were examined. An analysis based on the degree of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the class revealed that the major cause of dissatisfaction was the gap between students and the instructor about the aim and nature of "Integrated English." The author proposes following three points for further consideration and improvement of "Integrated English" classes: 1. The aim and nature of "Integrated English" should be clearly defined and agreed upon among instructors, and shown to students. 2. A system should be set up which enables students to freely choose one of the offered "Integrated English" classes. All classes should be open at the same period of the week. Detailed syllabi or course descriptions should be shown to students before they are asked to make decision on which class to take. 3. Even if large classes cannot be helped, each student should be given a sense of being taken good care of in class. Teaching assistants who check students' papers or give advice are indispensable.
