講義概要/Course description
Theme: Academic English proficiency in speaking and listening 

This course is one of the two integrated English courses instructed solely in English (the other is a ‘Reading and Writing’ course). Students will take both courses with the same native English instructor in a small class. Each class is 90 minutes in length and meets three times a week. 

The goal of this course is the acquisition of communicative English proficiency in an academic context. The students will be exposed to a variety of topics relevant to their academic lives. Through personalized conversations with their classmates, it is expected that the students will gain confidence in using English for communication. Not only will students improve their command of communicative English, but they will also gain knowledge about specific content areas that will help them improve their ability to interact in academic contexts. Through the exploration of different academic topics, the course will also include development of important strategies for improving IELTS exam scores. Students will be expected to participate actively and collaboratively, working in pairs and groups.

Tutorials: The instructor will be available for meeting students outside of class times in order to discuss progress and develop strategies for improvement when needed. The sessions will be done on a sign-up basis.  

IELTS and TOEIC: 
 •IELTS: Students need to take two official IELTS exams on campus; 17 May 2025 & 5 July 2025.
 •TOEIC: Students need to take the TOEIC exam in December in order to verify progress. 
達成目標/Course objectives
