Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
Aiming to taking high scores in TOEIC exam or pass Eiken test. In class, students do exercises to prepare for taking TOEIC exams. In addition, they practice speaking and extra reading to improve overall English skills.
Style:
- Basically a lecture-type class with a textbook which the students used in the 4th grade. - Each unit consists of 3 lessons: (i) listening a dialogue; (i) grammar review and exercises; and (iii) reading practices. - For listening practice, the students try to understand the outline of the conversation and check some vocabularies, and act out the dialogue. - For grammar and reading exercises, the students try extra questions out of the textbook. - The teacher gives a quiz to the class in every lesson and some homework assignments time by time.
Notice:
- The students should prepare for each lesson (which page of the textbook is covered will be announced in advance). - Keep the deadline of assignments. - Students can get a credit of this class by taking 60 points as a final grade. Any student whose final point is less than 60, he/she can take an makeup exam upon request. When the score of his/her makeup exam is high, the student can get a credit of this class with the final points of 60.
