課程概述	In this class, we will engage in listening & thinking exercises and learn how to shadow for language enhancement purposes. We will engage in lively classroom discussions and give short presentations. You will take turns curating 15-minute sessions throughout the semester, during which you will be able to share your ideas, music, taste, learning resources, interests, favorite programs/movies/books/podcasts etc. with the class. Andy Warhol famously said, "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." I hope you will enjoy your fifteen minutes of fame in this class.
課程目標	This course aims to improve your overall English language ability, with emphasis on speaking and listening in English.
課程要求	Attendance and classroom participation are crucial. There will be required shadowing practice after class. All students are required to keep a learning journal. Other than your 15-minutes of fame curating/speaking session, you also need to upload two recording assignments this semester.
