授業の概要と方法

In this course, students will develop both speaking and writing skills required for academic studies at university. Students will improve their pronunciation, rhythm and intonation, and gain greater fluency through participating in everyday conversations and discussions. They will also build their confidence to express their own opinions on familiar topics in English. In SW1, students will also write academic paragraphs and revise their writing through peer review.
Throughout the semester, students will receive feedback on in-class activities and assignments from the instructor in order to develop their abilities.
