The aim of the course is to enhance reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. Another goal is to establish a firm foundation for students to present their knowledge to others, in English.
概要
The primary focus will be the development of English skills: listening comprehension, reading, writing, and speaking. A key objective will be to increase and broaden knowledge of technical and scientific vocabulary. The final result: students should be able to produce English presentations, especially science-related presentations. The emphasis of the course content is intended to strengthen and expand both comprehension and expressive abilities. It is anticipated that this will include improving the basic aspects of clear writing: basic grammar, vocabulary, and recurring patterns of typical sentence structures.
