授業の目的（意義） / Importance of this course
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.
The course will provide students with the foundation to complete receptive and productive English language tasks linked to the CEFR B2 level (and at the TOEIC® Listening and Reading score 785 - 940 score range). This course has a special focus on vocabulary and grammar learned inductively and deductively through reading, writing, listening, and speaking tasks embedded within a progressive complexity of information, materials and tasks presented. Across the term, language is recycled via engaging active learning tasks making use of individual, pair, group and technological formats to enhance the chances of acquisition. Homework and individual study components via online learning are also integrated throughout the course.
*This is a SAC compulsory subject.
