With increasing number of international students and foreign faculty members at universities come more opportunities for English communication for both faculty and staff members.
Therefore, we will hold a training with the ALC Education Co. Ltd. and offer a chance to acquire some practical skills to write e-mails in English quickly and effectively.
The first part (format) will teach how to control the formal degree of sentences, and give some tips on how to control the degree of courtesy of request expressions, etc. In the second part (expressions) you will learn to properly deal with Japanese expressions 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.
