完全オンライン/Fully online: This class will be conducted both live and on demand.

This class is designed to help students achieve the highest possible score on the TOEIC but will be found appropriate by those wanting to go beyond the fundamentals of English grammar as well. The class will review grammar forms and structures that are most likely to be found on the TOEIC and that reflect the most important recurrent trouble spots for language learners. Students will be asked to complete TOEIC-style exercises at home, discuss why the wrong answers are wrong in groups, and then in class and finally take some review tests. Moreover, students will know which of their skills are the weakest by taking some practice tests provided by U-CAT (online TOEIC practice system). Although the main focus is on grammar, students will take a short listening test at the beginning of each class and get opportunities for speaking practice on work-related topics  in order to be familiar with the format and content of the other parts of the TOEIC.  This class is NOT a teacher-centered class, so active participation in group/class discussions is essential.

By the end of this semester, (1)students will be aware of where their problem areas are, how they budget time, and what test-taking skills are needed to increase scores on the new TOEIC and (2)they will develop the grammar, listening, and reading skills necessary to communicate accurately and appropriately.
