Do you like games? Have you ever thought that this life you are living right now is a huge RPG world? It actually is! One of the ways to get the most out of this game/world/life is to equip yourself with another language. Being able to speak another language other than your mother tongue is an ability, a skill, a talent, and, for some people, even a blessing. However, learning a new language is always possible as long as you make up your mind to start. So, in this course, you will use the English language to learn more about how you, as an "English" player, can see the world from a different point of view and have more fun living in it.

The program encourages students to tailor their English learning to their specific needs and interests by offering four semester-based modules: Career and Profession, Daily Communication, Multiculturalism, and Self-Expression Skills.

Each SENM student can choose two different module courses in one academic year according to their needs and interests. The program’s small class size (no more than 25 students) means that a variety of class activities such as discussions, role plays, and presentations are an integral part of the program.

"Sophomore English" is a learner-centered modular course. Based on students' personal learning interests and professional needs of relevant workplaces, four major module courses are offered, namely "Career and Professional", "Daily Communication", "Multiculturalism" and "Self-Expression Skills".
