| Course description |
|
Reports and discussions on the results of science and technology are conducted in English, the common language of the world. In order to understand science and technology correctly and to present their own results, students will learn to express themselves accurately in English regarding science and technology. We will attempt a different format from the English-based classes that students have taken in the first and second years. |
