授業の概要 Course Overview

Misson Statementとの関係性 / Connection to our Mission Statement

By equipping students with English language skills and business communication strategies, this course will facilitate students in becoming innovative and ethical leaders of the world. Various tasks and activities in this course will also develop students' 'Frontier Spirit' and assist them in developing their abilities to advance business and society in New Asia and beyond.

授業の目的(意義) / Importance of this course

As the last year of core courses at the Faculty of International Studies, this course will further strengthen students' four English language skills, namely, speaking, listening, reading, and writing, in order to prepare them to pursue post-graduation goals, including job search and applying for graduation programs. This course offers the final opportunity for students to consolidate their English language skills and help them get ready to apply what they learn in post-graduation work and life.

到達目標 / Achievement Goal


This advanced English language course provides students with complex readings and listening activities that emphasize the foundational English learnt in the previous terms. The productive and receptive tasks will contain material at the CEFR B2 & C1 and TOEIC 700 levels score range. This course has a special focus on grammar and vocabulary relevant for the TOEIC exam learned through reading, writing, listening, speaking and communication tasks that reinforce previously covered materials throughout the current and previous academic terms but with an increase in the complexity of the materials presented and the tasks required of the students. Across the classes, assignments and tasks are repeated and presented in individual and pair work formats, and homework and individual study components for active learning through online modules are also woven throughout the course. This course will be supported by your required completion of the designated hours for learning support in the SAC.

*This is a SAC compulsory course.
