This course is designed and targeted to familiarize yourselves with current journalistic writing styles and debatable issues. You should be prepared to expose yourselves to real-life writing in which English usages are conducted in a way less familiarly drilled in conventional, especially high school, grammar textbooks. You will be expected to practice oral and written English skills through a series of in-class projects, e.g., oral presentation, discussion in groups, and writing tasks in the mid-term and final examinations. As the instruction is done in English in principle, you should also be prepared to practice and improve your listening skills.
