| 授業概要 | The best way to study for tests such as TOEIC is to read and listen to English in a wide variety of contexts and situations. This is a computer room class to build general listening and reading skills using a variety of media: news， documentaries and movies. All listening assignments are on computer sites that enable you to see and correct your mistakes. Your scores are stored in an on-line database so you can work at your own pace and monitor your progress. Students can do TOEIC practice tests or develop academic writing skills if they wish. Students who wish to continue to develop listening and reading skills with movie clips may do so in this class. |
