Students learn a lot of useful idioms, so they can enjoy watching American TV programs without a hassle. Moreover, because the students learn the vocabulary used in different topics of world issues, they can read newspaper articles and watch the news with more confidence. The emphasis is equally given to all four aspects: speaking, listening, writing, and reading. The course also prepares students who want to take the exam for the certification in Translation/Interpretation, approved by the Canadian government or American ILTI.
