Questions from International students, phone calls from foreign faculty members, — no matter what position you will be moved to—, it seems that these have become very usual cases that you can no longer avoid. In such cases, it is better to communicate by yourself in simple English, rather than rely on “people who can speak English” and say “Please ask people who in charge”.
　
　Therefore, we organize this practical English conversation training for both faculty and staff members. The key objective of this training is to help you be familiar with oral English, be able to speak English naturally and calmly during your work. Instead of pushing new knowledge, we prefer to remind you some simple words and expressions which you learned many years ago.
