Teaching Method

Outline:

This course aims to help students to achieve a score of 500 on the TOEIC test. The course is particularly designed to provide students with a solid foundation in grammar and vocabulary that are necessary to be able to understand the reading section of the TOEIC test. By practising questions in part 5, students will be better able to read English used in a business setting.
Also, students will have a vocabulary test every week. They are expected to learn new expressions before coming to every class.

Style:

The instructional emphasis will be on pair work as well as lectures. In the class, students are asked to explain English sentence structures in Japanese.
Students are required to prepare for the class in advance and review the materials after the class in order to fully understand the class content.

Notice:

80% of grading will be based on exams and 20% on vocabulary tests. Students should mark more than 60 on average in order to pass the course. When they fail the course, students are eligible to retake the exam.
