課程概述

This course is intended to help students develop critical thinking and effective reading strategies. In addition, teamwork, cultural study, and practical language skills are emphasised as the course progresses. The sessions in this semester will focus on the following areas: (1) active reading skills; (2) seminar skills and group work; (3) critical thinking. Classroom activities include group discussion and presentation, film viewing and critique, Q&A, report writing, and occasionally language games. Given the focus on interaction, students’ participation in discussion is crucial and the atmosphere in the classroom is expected to be relaxing yet intellectually stimulating.
◎Please note that most sessions of this course will be taught in English. 

課程目標
 It is hoped that students will become an active and critical reader of English texts, as well as work effectively with group members.  
課程要求
 (1) Attendance: Students who are absent (i.e. no-show without advanced notices to the instructor) for more than 10 hours in this semester will be flunked (max. 59 points).
Students who are present in all classes get ONE extra point, which will be added to their final scores.
(2) Punctuality: late attendance for more than 30 minutes with no prior notice to the instructor will be regarded as absence.
(3) Assignments submitted up to one week late of the deadline will have 10 points deducted, unless the student is in extreme conditions (such as illness, accidents, financial and family issues, etc.) and obtains the instructor’s consent in advance. Late submission for more than two weeks will NOT be marked.
