① [対面]対面授業/ [On-site] On-site class

The course focuses on reading and writing skills development for students in an academic context. It combines carefully designed exercises, a comprehensive approach to critical thinking and motivating video. Its principled approach to critical thinking skills supports students by giving them the tools they will need to analyse information, generate ideas, formulate their own opinions and express themselves effectively in writing tasks.

The objectives of this course are communication skills and internationalism. Students should be able to read straightforward factual texts on subjects related to their field and interest with a satisfactory level of comprehension and write straightforward connected texts on a range of familiar subjects.

This course aims for CEFR B1.
