Class Objectives
/Class Outline
Students will understand the words and phrases repeatedly used in TOEIC L&R Test. Each unit consists of one specific part  so that students can intensively study it. They will also carefully and repeatedly practice each question to understand how to deal with the question patterns frequently appeared in the test. Analyzing the questions and sharing the effective way to deal with them are also essential task in the lectures since the test is getting more complicated than before.  Oral practice like repeating or reading aloud will also be introduced in class to build up the basic English communication skills.

Practical Experience Experienced  
Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it Responsible for teaching English (including TOEIC) at some language institutes and the following corporations.
Mazda, Sharp, Denso, Chugoku Electric Power, U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni (for Japanese personnel)
 
Message If you seriously want to improve your TOEIC L&R Test score, I strongly recommend joining this course. It is difficult to improve your score without speaking English, so in this course you will be encouraged to speak English in the lessons. I believe the more you speak English, the higher TOEIC score you will get. TOEIC, is “a language” rather than “a subject”. You can also learn this “language” by speaking to create a basis for international communication for your future career. I look forward to your active participation in this course.
