課程概述

This course covers four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Authentic listening materials are employed to improve students’ communicative competence in real-life contexts. With a view to enhancing students’ accuracy and fluency in speaking, this course entails students’ active participation in group discussions through which they are expected to learn how to summarize discussions and how to effectively organize ideas and thoughts. With oral presentations and application activities, students are expected to better listening and speaking skills and gain confidence in using English. To strengthen their reading skills, they will read articles on a variety of topics and learn how texts are developed and constructed. Also imparted in this class is the knowledge of grammar and rhetoric that is highly germane to their capacity to revise and edit their own prose. 

課程目標
 The goal of this course is to improve students’ holistic proficiency in English. As often happens in the English education in Taiwan, most students spend much time learning reading and fall short of practice of listening and speaking, whereupon they can hardly have a good command of these two language skills. To address this issue, this course aims to increase students’ practice in conversational skills. For pragmatic ends, this course will also shed light on communication appropriateness in various contexts.

time control should be effectively realized through “rehearsals.” With the intent to help
