自学自習についての情報 Students are strongly advise to review and practice each of the key language points after the class. The materials cover in each class will be kept small and compact so the students can focus their energy on improving fluency and originality. Also since this is NOT A GRAMMAR CLASS, students should always practice ALOUD and REPETITIVELY so they could INTERNALIZE the necessary English speaking skills in order to function well when interacting with foreign people. 
授業の形式 Pair work, role play, group discussions, etc.
