① [対面]対面授業/ [On-site] On-site class

This is a pre-intermediate level (CEFR A2) course that is designed to develop students’ speaking, listening, critical thinking, and note-taking skills. Using a four-skills textbook, students will deal with a variety of engaging real-world topics in depth. The twelve modules in the textbook contain dialogues which use functional language in real-life situations, a wide selection of communicative tasks, and numerous critical-thinking activities. Students will listen to conversations, radio interviews, quizzes, TV documentaries, radio reports, and scientific talks. They will learn to communicate successfully in English in a range of social situations and environments. Task-based activities will prepare students for the real world, and they will receive practical tips to encourage autonomous learning.

Students should learn to discuss topics in English fluently and with confidence. In addition, students should increase their TOEIC score. Finally, students should become autonomous learners.

The goals of this class are as follows:
1. Students should build their vocabulary.
2. Students should improve their listening skills.
3. Students should improve their speaking skills.
4. Students should improve their critical thinking ability.
5. Students should become autonomous learners.
6. Students should increase their TOEIC score.

Students are required to take the TOEIC Test at the end of the first and second semesters. Any student who fails to take any of the required TOEIC tests will not be graded. Students are expected to conduct considerable self-study for the TOEIC Test.

Regular attendance is essential. Any student who is absent more than 4 times in one semester will be failed. Two late attendances count as one absence; arriving at class more than 30 minutes late also constitutes an absence.

Students must achieve at least 60% in the overall assessment to earn the credits.
To achieve a positive grade it is necessary to complete all the prescribed exercises and given class activities.

Persistent effort is required of students.

Students will need to prepare sections of the textbook for each Unit. They should spend around 90 minutes preparing for each 90-minute class and should review the contents afterwards.
Students are also expected to pursue TOEIC self-study.

Grades will be calculated as follows:
Grading will be based on the End-Term Test each semester (40%), class performance and presentation (10% and 17% respectively), and the student’s TOEIC listening score in that semester's TOEIC half-test (33%).
