Department of Comprehensive English

What is required in today's international society is "English communication"
where you grasp the other person's intention,
convey our own thoughts, while both sides acknowledge the differences
between each other's countries and cultures.
To help you become a truly international person who is not satisfied with
just stringing words together and "speaking English",
but who acquires a higher level of English proficiency
and plays a leadership role in society....
The Department of Comprehensive English opens its doors in April, 2018.
