授業の概要 Course Overview
Mission Statementとの関係性 / Connection to our Mission Statement
In line with NUCB's mission statement, this English language course aims to educate and inspire students to become innovative and ethical leaders through the medium of English. In so doing, it is hoped they can grasp and take on the ideal of ʻFrontier Spiritʼ and the ability to create knowledge in English for the advancement of business and society.
授業の目的（意義） / Importance of this course
*This is a SAC compulsory course.
This advanced English language course provides students with complex readings and listening activities that emphasize the foundational English learned 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 presented in individual, pair and group work formats along with homework and individual study components for active learning. This course also involves the required completion of 20 hours of self-directed learning in the SAC with the support of SAC staff and SAC volunteers.

授業調査に対するコメント Comment on Course Evaluation
TOEIC tests make up 15% of the final grade and Quizzes make up 15%. The final exam represents 10% of the final grade, and the remaining 60% will come from class participation (20%), the Business case (20%) and reported SAC related self-study (20%). With respect to the latter, students are required to study over 20 hours in the fall semester (Terms 3 & 4) in the SAC in the Central Information Center.
Additionally, students enrolled in SAC compulsory courses are all required to take the TOEIC exam 3 times at NUCB during the spring semester (June) and fall semester (October and November). Failing to do so, a student will receive Incomplete for his/her grade for the SAC compulsory course in the semester in which the student failed to take the TOEIC exam.
