Advice to Students on Study and Research Methods

 Your overall English proficiency is assessed by CASEC which you are required to take in December. Taking the test is essential! If you do not take CASEC or if your score is lower by 100 points or more than the previous time, you will lose 15 points from your final grade. English classes in 2023 will be reorganized based on your CASEC score. Active participation in class activities is required. Participation includes in-class activities, activities via manaba+R (reading course news, turning in assignments, contributing to discussions on the bulletin board), My English Lab and other methods required by the teacher. Contact your teacher early if you have any problem due to the current COVID situation. Please remember you are responsible for any information you miss if you are absent. Keep track of when your assignments are due: no (and late) submission will lower your grade.
