授業の内容(Course Description) |

Students will begin by learning the basic elements of communicative English grammar in a simple and systematic manner that will allow them to express themselves effectively. In every class, the target will be structured in an easy-to-follow outline allowing the students to have a clear understanding on how the target is used. From there, the students will put the target into practice in groups and/or pairs in situation-based settings. Practical communication will be emphasized throughout the course and students will be given ample opportunity to improve upon their speaking with their peers and with myself.
