ENGLISH SKILLS A-1【Gｸﾞﾙ-ﾌﾟ】*

概要

This course is designed to improve English academic skills, mainly focusing on listening (dictation, taking notes), speaking (debate, discussion, and presentation), reading (accumulating knowledge and critical thinking), and conducting research (finding topics, collecting and analyzing data). We will build three skills in the spring semester—listening, speaking, and reading. Based on the materials provided by the instructor, we discussed various topics with our classmates to deepen our understanding and approach them from various perspectives. Then you will present your thoughts and opinions in writing or speaking. In addition, you are required to participate in various group activities, including discussions, debates, and presentations. Active class participation is essential.
