It has been reported that short-term intensive English courses abroad are effective in improving students’ English language skills in various ways. They often lead students also to further English study. However, due to the impact of COVID-19, it has been very difficult to conduct any activities overseas since 2020. Therefore, we planned to hold an intensive English course in Japan, with the assistance of native English-speaking teachers and international students. If the course can achieve a certain level of effectiveness, it could function as an alternative activity that is easier for students to participate in, in terms of cost as well. As a result, such courses could also motivate students to engage in further activities in international context after the situation improves, in order to become global engineers in the future.
