CiC3-TB

Course goals This class will help students improve their English conversation skills. Clear training in how to speak English like a native speaker will be given. Students will understand key differences between Japanese and Western cultural speaking styles in order to communicate more effectively. Students will also spend much time in class learning vocabulary and speaking with classmates about everyday life topics, such as: free time, entertainment, food, and the future. By the end of the term, if students work hard, they will be able to speak English more fluently, accurately, and with more complexity than they could at the start of the year.
