Improving your English proficiency requires both 'acquiring knowledge', such as vocabulary and grammar, and 'applying that knowledge'. In this course, we aim to provide hands-on learning opportunities to use the English vocabulary and grammar you've gained through your school studies as effective communication tools.
Through engaging activities that many learners find challenging¡ªsuch as 'discussion', 'debate', and 'presentation'¡ªyou will have the chance to express your daily thoughts in English, learn how to persuade others, and gain insights from your peers.
This course consists of 12 sessions, each lasting 90 minutes, designed to help you develop 'practical English' skills.
