●英語Ｃ（中級）理ⅠＣ

The aim of this class is to improve the English-speaking ability of students, so that they will become more capable of expressing their own opinions and feelings in both academic and non-academic contexts. Students will prepare and perform mock interviews and other simulations in order to practice their English, and will also be instructed in how to improve their pronunciation and sound more natural. In addition, many opportunities will be provided for students to participate actively in pair-work exercises and group discussions, in order to improve their ability to both conduct and comprehend English-language exchanges.

At the end of this course students should be able to: speak English more confidently, listen and read with better comprehension, write more expressively and efficiently, research topics more appropriately, use vocabulary more correctly, and understand and use grammatical structures more correctly.
