Research Abstract	Most of Japanese undergraduates have little experiences in exploring and presenting their ideas in English. Thus, it is indispensable to make them aware the variety and rich possibility of expressions in English. For this purpose, the IMRAD method is easily accessible, as its simple and rigid structure helps them and instructors more concentrate on their expressions. In addition, in order to make the presentation more practical, the use of materials(PPT) and voice could be taught while emphasizing the resultant behavior of audience. Although the research is still on the way, a comprehensive, flexible approach is surely attained.
