The purpose of this course is to develop the English communication skills students will need in daily life and basic work environments. Rather than focusing on grammar, the course takes a communication-centered approach aimed at helping students develop the skills to introduce themselves, carry on everyday conversations, travel, shop, ask for and give directions, make phone calls, participate in job interviews, and communicate effectively in various social settings. Through real-life scenarios, role-playing activities, and speaking exercises, students are encouraged to use English with confidence.

The course will include activities such as introducing oneself, engaging in everyday conversations, meeting new people, communicating in restaurants and cafes, shopping, traveling, and dealing with hotels, airports, and transportation services, as well as phone and online conversations, communicating about health and in emergencies, job interviews, workplace communication, asking for and giving directions, and expressing everyday problems in English.
