Course Code: ETV101-S

This is a more comprehensive version of the 5 week course. In addition to going through the processes necessary for traveling abroad (checking-in at a hotel, going through immigration, etc.), we will consider the reasons people travel, students will share their travel experiences and they will plan an imaginary trip.

Students will widen their vocabulary, improve their listening and speaking skills so that they can better communicate on their next overseas trip and/or speak with foreigners and thus enhance their enjoyment when they do so.

Those who would like to improve their communication skills and boost their confidence, and those who are interested in traveling, would benefit from taking this course.
