As the number of international students and foreign faculty and staff at universities continues to increase, there are more and more opportunities asking for communication in English. Therefore, we invited the lecturer of ALC Education Co. Ltd. to give a lecture about how to write e-mails in English quickly and effectively.
In the Basic level, you will learn how to make good balance control the formal degree of sentences and give some tips on how to control the degree of courtesy of request expressions, etc.
In the intermediate level, you will learn to properly deal with Japanese phrases that are hard to translate into English such as “to consider” or “to deal with.” You will also learn how to use recommended expressions related to English culture like refusal expressions.
This page is an application form for “Basic level”.
