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 and presentations.The sections on writing and listening practice, will be set as homework to allow the classroom focus to remain upon communication exercises.
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 remote-learning for the first semester, and 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 when in-class, use of Microsoft Forms and Quizzes, uploading of prepared speeches, use of online video resources during remote-learning period) 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 where possible, or replaced with similar activities using online video content during remote-learning period.
授業の進め方・方法:
Students are assessed through classroom activities (discussions, pair and group activities, as well as presentation exercises) or alternatively through Microsoft Forms, uploaded audio recordings and participation during the remote-learning period [50%] and tests (mid-term and final) [50%] The first term will not feature a mid-term examination, but a review mini-test will be carried out remotely in lesson 8, which will replace the mid-term when determining grades.
