課程概述

With a wide range of classroom activities and exercises, this one-year course is designed to enhance the English skills and proficiency of first-year NTU undergraduates. The lecturer will guide participants through a wealth of English learning resources and authentic materials dealing with the following topics: 1) Public speaking, 2) Travel, 3) Nature, and 4) Culture.

In order to facilitate learning and classroom discussion, students are required to complete listening and reading assignments before coming to class. Every week, they will have to take quizzes, speak English both in small groups and in front of the class, and engage in a series of writing tasks.

A communicative approach which emphasizes teacher-student interaction is adopted, though attention is also paid to familiarize students with the complex sentence structure and grammar of the English language as well as common English expressions used in a variety of topics and daily-life situations.

At the end of the course, students will be able to:

1) Speaking: -speak more confidently and fluently about various topics
　 -speak with fewer simple grammar mistakes
2) Reading 　 -improve reading skills
　　　 -become familiar with different genres of English materials
3) Vocabulary 　-increase vocabulary, especially vocabulary related to the topics in online

4) Grammar 　 -improve usage of already-learned grammar in writing and speaking
5) Listening 　 -improve listening for both main ideas and details on a variety of topics
6) Writing 　 -learn to describe their daily life, events and stories in short paragraphs

Each participant has to do a 3-minute oral presentation and write 3 essays throughout the semester.

Absences
1) Sickness: 　　
If you can’t come to class because you’re sick, please show me your doctor’s notes in the next class. You will need to show me absent notes approved by the university on the day of a quiz or test; otherwise, your absence will be unexcused. Each class absence will drop 1 point off your final grade.
