[IMPORTANT NOTICE]
1. This is a TOEIC-Compulsory Subject where students are required to take a September TOEIC for Term 3. If you do not take the TOEIC in September, you will lose the credits for failing to complete the course (regarded as being "incomplete").
2. As clearly indicated above, this course is intended for students who aim for a TOEIC score of 500, not those with a score of 500 and over. Therefore, to ensure the fairness of evaluation, a different target score (their current score + 100) is set to evaluate students with a TOEIC score of over 500.

TOEIC part cannot be included in their evaluation unless the students submit their current TOEIC

from the above condition.
3. The course schedule is subject to change, depending on the needs/progress of the class.
