授業の概要 Course Overview
Misson 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 English language course provides students with readings and listening activities that emphasize the foundational English learned in the previous terms. The productive and receptive tasks linked to the CEFR B2 level (and at the TOEIC® Listening & Reading 785-940 score range) will be provided so that students will increase vocabulary and grammar knowledge to enhance their ability to communicate in English. 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. 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.
