Course Description

In this globalised society, it has become vital to communicate in English. This course aims to encourage students to produce English whenever possible and to enhance their communicative competence they acquire in the spring term,in order to survive the international business world. Instead of worrying about the minor mistakes, the students will make a speech based on the draft they prepare for each class. The topics cover a wide range of social issues in the present society. They are also expected to acquire critical thinking competence in the process of building up their ideas based on information and knowledge they gain in articles in English and discussing them.
