【授業概要】
In this course, students will have the opportunity to
study and to practice the English skills that can help them function in a
business environment. This will include business English for use in formal
situations, such as business meetings, negotiations, telephoning, discussing
projects, and giving presentations. Since business is very much a “social art,”
the class will also include practice and exercises in less formal situations,
such as meeting people, making small talk, talking about yourself, talking
about other people, and describing events. Finally, you will have the
opportunity to learn a variety of set expressions that are often used in
business, such as when talking on the phone, when taking or leaving messages,
or in expressing agreement or disagreement.
As much as possible, I will try to design the course to
the needs and the goals of the students who take part in the course. Classes
will be conducted in English.
【到達目標】
The
goal of this class is to help students improve their spoken English in informal
discussions and in more formal business situations. Students will have the
opportunity to improve their English fluency, to expand their English
vocabulary, and to increase their confidence in using the language.
