參考書目

評量方式
(僅供參考)

No.	項目	百分比	說明
1.	Writing assignments	40%	Students will need to complete 4 writing assignments (each worth 10%) throughout the semester.
2.	Student-led writing exercise	20%	Students will lead a writing-related activity/discussion based on the concepts that we are studying in the course.
3.	Activities, attitudes, and attendance	20%	Students will need to attend class sessions and participate in discussions on a weekly basis. In particular, students will be involved in peer review activities and writing conferences. Good learning attitudes include coming to each class session on time, participating in the front rows, asking questions, and listening to one another. As mutual communication is important and is part of the learning process, you are encouraged to discuss with me from time to time as regards your own learning in this course. Attendance policies in this course The purpose of explicating the attendance policies for all my courses are threefold: (1) to maintain a fair grading system for this percentage of grade; 2) to respect one another in the classroom; and 3) to ensure students' best learning outcomes. For the latter reason, in particular, as this is a practice-based course in which in-class activities are essential in developing students' language fluency, student learning attitudes and participation therefore become particularly important in this class. Students who decide to take this course should pay additional attention to the following rules: 1.Please come to each class session on time. If you are late for more than 10 minutes without a valid excuse/proof or a prior approved notice, you will be considered as absent for that particular session(s). 2.While electronic resources (e.g., on-line dictionary) will be incorporated in the classroom use (e.g., during an in-class group activity), however, if you use electronic devices (e.g., smart phones, tablets, iPod, and etc.) under a situation without the instructor’s consent (e.g., during when your classmate is presenting on the stage or when the instructor is leading an activity), you will be considered as absent for the particular session(s). If you need to make a phone call due to an emergency (e.g., family-related issues), you should inform the instructor beforehand. 3.If you do other non-relevant class activities (e.g., doing homework or preparing exams for other classes), you will be considered as absent for that particular session(s). 4.If you sleep during the class, you will be considered as absent for that particular session(s). If you need a rest due to an illness, you should go home and do so; later obtain a proof of office visit from your doctor and submit it to the instructor. 5.If you are absent for class session(s), be it accidental or not, there will be NO additional tests or assignments offered for you to make up for your attendance grade.
4.	Reflective report	20%	At the end of the semester, students will document and submit one reflective report which includes assignment revisions and learning narratives. Details to be distributed in class.
