This course, held only in English, aims to improve students’ speaking and listening skills in communicative English. This includes the learning of various skills and knowledge, such as pronunciation, intonation, vocabulary, grammar, and word usage. Lessons include a variety of activities intended to stimulate students to actively practice speaking English in class and prepare for the TOEIC. Since the course has an “oral communications” focus, active participation in class is required, both for grading and for the student’s meaningful progress in speaking skills.
