Course description

You will acquire the skills for expressing various items on science and technology in English. Emphasis is put on speaking and writing. You will learn the expression and vocabulary that are used in a variety of situations in the field of science and technology. You will use a textbook focusing on such situations. You will achieve competency through pair and group works. A textbook and workbook will be prescribed.
E-learning will be included as an out-of-class activity so that you will touch as much English usage as possible. The assigned range in "Super Eigo" should be finished by the final exam.
You need to take TOEIC test that will be provided during the final exam period. The score will be converted so that the full and zero score will be 550 and 250, respectively, and included in the achievement.

Note: classes will be determined based on the placement data (the highest TOEIC score that you have got at this university).
