This paper reports on the teaching of English 2, a reading course for second-year students provided at Tenshi College. The aims of the course and methods employed are discussed, focusing on the 2005 academic year. First, the reformed curriculum in its foreign language education put into effect in the 2004 academic year will be briefly explained and then English for Specific Purposes (ESP), which has become more widely recognized at Japanese colleges and universities, will be introduced with reference to English 2. This is a course to help the students prepare for the reading of English professional literature. When planning the course, the author consulted with both the Nursing and Nutrition departments and conducted a questionnaire survey of third- and fourth-year students who had previously taken the course. Based on the data obtained and information about ESP practiced at other institutions in Japan, the course was modified. The report elaborates on class management, including how to enhance reading skills, textbooks, and supplementary learning materials prepared, as well as in-class activities and assignments, and presents some of the students' feedback. Finally, some suggestions for developing ESP reading materials to improve the course will be made.
