This course focuses upon improving the student's ability to engage in conversation and communicate in English, and help the student feel more confident about using the English they already know. The course uses role-plays and various scenarios that simulate a natural setting to use the language studied in the textbooks. The textbook itself also covers reading, writing and listening practice, much of which will be set as homework to allow the focus to remain upon communication exercises in class.
概要:
This course aims to improve the ability for students to engage in natural English Conversation. The course uses a 6-skill approach (Listening, Reading, Writing, Viewing and Presenting) and focuses upon a range of common situations and provides the language necessary to navigate such situations, whilst using role-playing, activities and discussions to build students confidence and allow ample practice. Interactions will be varied (pair work, group work, class discussions and individual presentations) and will be supported by the study of new vocabulary and grammar structures in the textbook. There are presentation exercises and mini-presentations included in each unit of the textbook. Reading and writing exercises will also be used in class to introduce or reinforce the concepts or specific situations. Short DVD viewing exercises followed by a set of comprehension-check questions are also included in each unit.
授業の進め方・方法:
Students are assessed through classroom activities (discussions, pair and group activities, as well as presentation exercises) [50%] and tests (First semester: mid-term and final) [50%]
