This course is designed to develop students’ English ability in various aspects of communication skills – reading, speaking & writing – needed for research. These skills can be divided into informal and formal settings.

課程目標 |
This class will be conducted in various formats – lecture, individual help, small group discussion, and presentation – designed to ensure maximum learning of the material. Since each student is in a various stage of development in the skills described, equal emphasize will be placed on an individual’s progress as well as towards a “set standard.” |
