Course Description: Our Intensive English Essentials modules offer focused, practical, and accessible learning for motivated learners who want to improve their English communication skills in a short time. Each level—Lower Intermediate, High Intermediate, and Advanced—is divided into two consecutive five-week modules. These flexible, stand-alone modules are carefully designed to support learners with diverse goals, schedules, and backgrounds.
▶ Module 1 builds a strong foundation through vocabulary development, grammar review, and confidence-building speaking activities. Students practice everyday conversations and interactive group work using instructor-selected materials.
▶ Module 2 builds on the skills from Module 1 with a practical, task-based focus. Students strengthen their ability to express ideas clearly in real-life situations through guided discussions, collaborative tasks, and communication strategies.
【Topics Covered in Module 2】
・Stress and intonation for natural fluency
