課程概述	In this class, we will listen to thought-provoking TED talks, and learn how to shadow for language enhancement purposes. We will engage in lively classroom discussion, and give short presentations. You will develop listening, thinking, speaking and interpreting skills in English by doing a series of (hopefully) fun-filled activities under the the guidance of your instructor. You will also learn to appreciate English poems, read (aloud) the news to keep track of what's happening in the world, and take turns sharing your favorite songs with your classmates. 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. "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes" quoted by Andy Warhol in 1968. I hope you will enjoy your fifteen minutes of "fame."
課程目標	This course aims to improve your overall English language ability, with emphasis on listening and speaking.
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. Apart from your "15-minutes of fame" curating/speaking session which is voluntary, you also need to upload 2 recording assignments this semester.
