These last 2 modules are for those of you who did not achieve 800 in the TOEIC and/or are experiencing difficulties with your English. Therefore, the class selection will be made when the TOEIC results come back. The teacher will adapt the lessons to what the students in the group require and will provide more listening and speaking practice, TOEIC practice, help with grammar and syntax etc.
These 2 days take place just before your real TOEIC exam to give you some practice beforehand.
On 31 March, the first day, you will be in classes to practice and so that the teachers can answer any final questions.
On 7 April, the "1/2 promo" day, there will be a full practice in the exam room. This mock exam will be administered in exactly the same way as the real exam, including practice in how to complete the administration. Please note, this is also an extremely important part of the process. You do not want to be eliminated before you begin the exam! For the exam to be validated, every rule must be followed!
In this module, students will take on roles in a mini Model United Nations Human Rights Committee (UNHRC) session on the topic of The Right to Internet Access and the Digital Divide.
Q: What is Model United Nations?
A: Model United Nations is a simulation of a UN General Assembly or other multilateral bodies. In Model UN, students step into the shoes of ambassadors from UN member states to debate current issues on the organization's agenda. While playing their roles as ambassadors, student "delegates" make speeches, prepare draft resolutions, negotiate with allies and adversaries, resolve conflicts, and navigate the Model UN conference rules of procedure - all in the interest of mobilizing international cooperation to resolve problems that affect countries all over the world.
Before playing out their ambassadorial roles in a Model UN simulation, students research the issue that their committee will address. Model UN participants learn how the international community acts on its concerns about topics including peace and security, human rights, the environment, food and hunger, economic development and globalization. Model UN delegates also look closely at the needs, goals and foreign policies of the countries they will represent at the event. The insights they gain from their exploration of history, geography, culture, economics and science contribute to the authenticity of the simulation when the role playing gets under way.Assessment will be based on class and debate participation and written assignments in pairs or larger groups. Rubrics attached to this course description will help students assess their own attainment and progress and will provide a roadmap.
