授業の概要 Course Overview
Misson Statementとの関係性 / Connection to our Mission Statement
In alignment with our Mission Statement, this course will provide students with the foundation to learn the English language proficiency necessary for success in today’s international business.
授業の目的(意義) / Importance of this course
Through this course, students will develop productive and receptive skills in preparation to achieve the CEFR B1 level at the TOEIC® Listening and Reading score (550-780 score range). The course focuses on building up English vocabulary, understanding grammar and making use of the knowledge through reading, listening, speaking, and communication tasks assuming various business situations.
Across the classes, assignments and tasks typical to the junior high school and senior high school English classrooms are repeated and presented in individual, pair work or group work formats. Homework and individual study components for active learning through online modules are also woven throughout the course.
Term 4 also presents a Case Study component, which is to help students develop their analytical and critical thinking skills on a topic worthy of discussion in the business profession. Students will be instructed to prepare for a case study discussion in class and later submit a report on what they have learned from the case.
