Class Objectives
/Class Outline |
This course aims to develop students’ English vocabulary by linking vocabulary learning with the four language skills of reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Students will learn to understand and use a wide range of words appropriately in communication. Through reading articles on weekly topics and expressing their own opinions, they will also broaden their knowledge and perspectives. Students are required to study approximately 50 vocabulary items per week (intermediate level: approximately Eiken Pre-1 or TOEIC 730 level), and a short vocabulary quiz will be given at the beginning of each class. |
