With progressing globalization of society and increasing number of international students it is expected that the number of university faculty and staff member able to communicate in English will also increase.

The first part (listening) we aim to participants a chance to acquire some self-learning methods to become able to understand English better; it is especially for those who “understand English when they read, but not when they listen to it” and “cannot resist to think in Japanese”. The speaking training is aimed at people who are afraid of making mistakes and cannot talk and “no words comes out” and we will teach about “what to talk” and “how to talk” at the same time.
