| 授業の目的・方法 ／Course Objectives and method |
Course Objectives Every class sets a specific business-related theme with the aim of improving related knowledge and English skills. Targeted at students who have already completed Business English II, this course utilizes authentic materials centered around the 3Ms (Music, Movies, and Media)—using content of a higher difficulty level than the previous course—while striving to provide classes that are easy to understand, enjoyable, beneficial, and highly satisfying. The course identifies the English functions and concepts required in business settings, and strengthens students' listening comprehension, understanding skills, and vocabulary. In addition, it aims to: • Accurately grasp social conditions surrounding business environments from a global perspective. • Acquire skills in utilizing news media as an information tool. • Form SAELH (Sustainable Autonomous English Learning Habits) to foster sustainable, self-directed English learning habits. |
