2.Brief Course Introduction

This course is an advanced reading program based on Extensive Reading of Business Literature. The most distinguished characteristics of this course include “currentness” and “practicality”. By “currentness”, it means all reading materials are less than one year old. And “practicality” suggests that the knowledge students will have acquired can be easily applied to the real business world. The course is more linguistically challenging than its preparatory course and students are expected to have adequate vocabulary and background knowledge.
