This course aims to familiarize students with English spoken on different
subject matters, in different accents, and on various occasions: from academic,
business, news, to colloquial. We will be acquainted with listening materials
including lectures in classroom, speeches, announcements in aircraft, radio
advertisements, and so forth. Being proficient in this language, you will be
expected to express yourself in English as near-next native speakers,
regardless of the accents you would like to keep up with. To achieve these,
internet resources will be one of the teaching media. There will be activities
as debate, discussion, radio drama, in which you are encouraged to keenly
participate. Students are also advised to drill on listening privately. This is
a student-centered course, so any comment is warmly welcome to make this class
suit your needs and more interesting and creative.
