A curriculum of varied specialties and language development.

This department is structured on three pillars of study: language, literature and culture. Literature consists of a wide range of studies, such as novels, poetry, drama and critique. A whole world of language learning begins with courses in English language studies. The culture pillar is sustained with courses in American and Western history as a bass, and includes courses such as civilization and translation. For students who do not speak English as a native language, there are courses which offer basic training in English and developing the four skills, which in turn will help them in communicating in English in society.
Specialty courses are offered in the third and fourth years. We have put our efforts together to develop the students' ability in English language usage.
