| This course aims to improve each student’s ability to plan and deliver effective presentations in English. Students will also continue to develop their speaking fluency and communication skills in English through discussions on various issues of academic interests. This course is mandatory for second-year students as an introduction to the English curriculum of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology. |
