Note: This course uses English only as medium of instruction.
【学習到達目標】
By the end of the course, students will be able to have simple conversations with confidence.
【履修上の注意】
This is an oral communication course, so all students must be prepared to speak English as much as possible in class. You will be assessed weekly on your classroom participation, performance and speaking skills.
【事前準備学習】
The focus is on fluency and comprehensibility, rather than accuracy, so effort is one of the most important factors of success in this course. Of course, students are all expected to complete homework assignments on time, as they play a large role in the classwork activities.
