● 英語Ｃ（中級）仏IＢ

In this first year English communication course, the aim is to build on the English students already know and use it for the purpose of communication. The emphasis will be on listening and speaking, while related reading and writing work will be assigned as homework. A coursebook will be used to provide motivating topics, as well as to review structures and increase vocabulary.
