課程概述 |
This course aims to help students develop critical thinking abilities through guided reading and discussion of thought-provoking texts. This semester, the reading materials include a novel that responds to the world we inhabit in soulful ways, as well as writings by two of the most prominent thinkers of our time. The listening activities, on the other hand, are meant to keep the students current with what is happening in the world today. The materials will be culled from authentic audio-visual recordings such as interviews, speeches, and newscast. The regular listening and reading sessions aside, there will also be sessions devoted to critical thinking and skills of reading newspaper English. |

課程目標 |
本課程的設計參考美國幾所頂尖大學為全校大一新生安排的核心課程，帶領學生透過閱讀、分析思想性的文本，培養獨立思辨能力以及對於重要人文課題的敏銳度──換言之，這並非純然以語言訓練為主的班級。本學期閱讀教材為一本長篇小說及兩部當代重量級文化批判專書之摘選。聽力訓練以真實世界素材為主，包括深度報導、訪談、演說及新聞播報：聽力活動的主題將涵蓋當前國際局勢以及西方國家文化、社會特殊性。學期中另有獨立思辨與新聞英文的訓練。上課強調互動、討論，並要求課前預習。 |

課程要求 |
1. Regular attendance. Two absences may be allowed without penalty during the semester. Unexcused absence from five classes will result in zero point on the "attendance and class participation" part of your final grade.
2. Active class participation. Participation in class activities is essential.
3. Proper preparation and reading responses. Preparation prior to the class meeting is required. You do not need to consult secondary material, but do go over the assigned reading at least once. Turn in four reading responses throughout the semester: preferably two before the midterm exam and two after. The response can be in either format: a) you summarize the key points of the reading; or b) you imagine yourself having a conversation with the author and raise questions for him/her about the text. Each response should be at least 100 words, handwritten or word-processed, and is due in hardcopy form in class.
**Alternative plan: Two of the responses may be replaced by vocabulary lists, with each list consisting of at least fifteen words and their English definitions.
4. Midterm exam.
5. Conference presentation + write-up. In the second half of the semester, write a commentary and prepare an oral presentation on either of the assigned texts. In the write-up, (a) briefly summarize the author’s main argument, (b) comment on it, and (c) provide at least one example to illustrate your point. The write-up should be at least 400 words; the oral presentation should be 3-5 minutes. The presentations will be organized as a “conference” where a panel discussion follow the presentations. |
