As shown in Fig. 1, for AY 2022, the Four-Skills class was the most selected first choice in five out of the nine departments, while the Business English class was the most preferred in three departments. Additionally, in all departments, both the Four-Skills and Business English classes accounted for over 30％ of the total responses.The Four-Skills class uses the same textbook as the compulsory first-year courses English I and English II. Therefore, students who selected this class may have done so for several reasons: (1) they developed a general understanding of the English courses through English I and English II and wished to continue learning similar content, (2) they preferred to complete the remaining units of a textbook they already owned rather than purchasing a new one, or (3) they were hesitant to engage in a learning approach different from previous courses and thus made a passive selection.Students who selected the Business English class may have been dissatisfied with the content of English I and English II or wanted to study English from a different perspective.The Speaking class had the fewest first-choice responses in all departments. However, it was relatively more popular among students in the following departments: Architecture and Architectural Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Management, and Conceptual Design. Like the Four-Skills class, this course also uses the same textbook as the first-year compulsory English courses. However, students who selected this class likely did so with the intention of shifting their focus from basic language skills to improving their speaking and presentation abilities, building upon their first-year studies.Fig. 2 presents the first choices for English Skills A in the AY 2023 survey, categorized by department.Fig. 1 First Choices for English Skills A by Department in the AY 2022 Survey─ 5 ─
