自学自習についての情報 In order to make tangible progress, students are strongly advised to review and practice each of the key language points after the class. Be goal-oriented : improve on English communicative skills, fluency and originality. Also since this is NOT a GRAMMAR class, students should understand the importance of always practicing English speaking ALOUD and REPETITIVELY, so they could INTERNALIZE the necessary output skills in order to function well in a foreign language environment.
