In spring of first year
- If you are very confident and/or have experience studying abroad, you can go straight into a Lecture in English in General Education, but be sure to check the language prerequisites on the syllabus first.
- If you have a decent level of English ability (for example, TOEIC Bridge 140 or more) but you don�ft have confidence in your English or academic skills, then try the spring semester GJP Introductory Seminar. (First year students who have a sufficient score in the TOEIC Bridge placement test will be sent an e-mail advertising this class before classes start in spring.
- There are also a wide range of outside of class facilities and groups you can use - the Global Commons has books to read (try asking about extensive reading, a great and easy way to improve your English), movies to watch, lots of information to help you get ready to study abroad in addition to workshops and opportunities to speak English.
- You can also talk to the Center for International Programs about becoming a buddy for an exchange student or join a club or circle which uses English.
- There are also some elective English classes you can take in General Education covering areas like TOEIC prepartion, skill development and business. However, whether you can take them or not depends on your department, so please check with faculty staff about this option
From the fall of first year and then on, in addition to all of the above, you can start using the Tokubetsu Eigo program (ThE English Program) which is a program offered by the Faculty of Foreign Studies to all students on campus. It includes classes to work on skills (such as reading, writing, listening and speaking), content-based cultural courses, courses for students training to be teachers and an intensive summer program. You can build a program to suit your own needs from a wide range of options.
Look through the GET website, go visit the Global Commons and talk to your teachers about your options. University is about choice and making your own decisions, so it all starts with you!
