Course Outline and Method

In CALL 2 (Computer-Assisted Language Learning), students engage in interactive learning through multimedia. Based on the skills acquired in CALL1, students are expected to further develop listening and oral production skills with natural English pronunciation and rhythm by watching authentic video news reports, lectures and speeches through the ‘English Central’ website. They will practice reading passages aloud, shadowing news reports, narrating documentaries, and reciting speeches. They will also review grammar and practice listening with the online English-learning program called ‘Gyuto-e’ in and out of class.

In CALL2-A class, students will further be trained in TOEFL iBT® Test style speaking and writing exercises, which will not only be helpful for doing well on the TOEFL® Test exam, but will improve students’ ability to respond intelligently to important issues.

Throughout the semester, students will receive feedback on in-class activities and assignments from the instructor in order to develop their abilities.
