The objective of this class is to develop students' ability to use spoken academic English (for discussion and for presentation) and written academic English (for essay writing).

Eigo-Enshu classes are designed to help students further develop as autonomous learners, critical thinkers, and global users of English. Through the various themes/topics, genres, and/or language skills covered in the Eigo-Enshu classes, students are provided with opportunities to strengthen their mastery of English according to their individual learning needs and goals. Class activities and teaching materials are chosen and designed by individual teachers as shown in the course outline and weekly schedule below.
