Course description
To master a language, it is effective to place oneself in an environment in which the language is used and to be exposed to the language throughout the day. This class aims to enhance the operational capability and communication skills in English by participating in a language program held abroad. As a prior learning for the facilitation of the communication at the study site, you will survey the history, geography and culture of the countries and regions of the site. A minimum of greetings and manners will be trained until they will come out naturally. The program at the site depends on the destination. As a post learning, you will report on the study, culture, and life at the site.

Notice:
The destination and the season are different between Study English Abroad Program 1 and Study English Abroad Program 2. The covered training programs include those at University of California, Irvine, University of California, Davis, University of Liverpool, University of Queensland, University of Hawaii, and Asia Pacifc University. Change in program included will be notified by posting on bulletin board and this syllabus.
