Practical English Language Training for University Staff
The 大象传媒's Global Commons organized a special beginner and intermediate English language class in wintertime targeting university staff as part of English language training for 大象传媒 staff, on February 18 and 19.
Assistant Professor Elena Tsygalnitsky of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the 大象传媒 was invited to give a lecture for beginners to learn practical phrases and words at the information desk for students and a lecture for intermediate level students to learn how to introduce the 大象传媒 and Tsukuba Science City and how to answer the phone, with 10 attendees for each class.
Some of the feedback afterwards in the beginners' class were: "I could learn practical phrases on conversation"; "It was a good lecture in a friendly atmosphere"; "Time flew. I can't believe that two hours passed." and in the intermediate class were: "I had a great opportunity to practice daily English conversation"; "It was an easy to learn lecture with a clear explanation"; "I would like to attend more lectures."
The Global Commons intends to continue its efforts to promote the internationalization of university staff through organizing various English language training and Staff Development (SD) Workshop that improve English proficiency and develop international perspectives and skills.
