教育目標

Course Objectives: On completion of the course, students should be able to (1) enhance their English listening ability; (2) enhance their English reading ability; (3) enhance their overall English communicative ability; and (4) express and communicate their ideas in English more confidently. Course Contents: This course is designed for SENM students who want to enhance their communicative skills by hands-on experience. The instructor provides solid training in listening and speaking skills on certain focused themes. For example, 1) how deep-down can one go on the family tree. By asking students to learn more about their family members and origin, this project aims for self-understanding in depth so that one can better finds his own place in the world. 2) Making a Choice—which allows students in a small group to discuss the pros and cons in either choosing a job or a place to go on a trip. 3) A Film with a Specific Theme, which requires students to critique on the plot and scenes and ask them to counteract the ending by proposing an alternative solution. Besides vocabulary form the film, many concession phrases for argument will be taught to enhance debating skills. 4) Demonstration and persuasion: asking students in respective groups to sell an idea or a product. Through these four (types) of activities, it is hoped that students will become better English speakers to describe, demonstrate, and argue for a point.

SENM, an extension of FENM, is a student-centered course. It features a small class size of no more than 25 students, where English is taught with the goal of raising students’ multi-cultural awareness and competence. Various communicative activities are incorporated into the course to help students to achieve this goal. Themes in the SENM curriculum include, but are not limited to, the following list: (1) Cross-cultural Awareness and Competence (2) Literary Appreciation and Criticism (3) Natural Disasters and Global Cooperation (4) Embracing Diversity & Traditions of Others (5) Citizenship and Responsibility (6) Environmental Awareness and Global Citizenship. In addition to activities suggested by the textbook (Top Notch 3), SENM also incorporates discussions, exhibitions, competitions, and show-and-tell’s to enhance students’ ability to understand, accept, and respect other cultures. 「大二英文」為「大一英文」之延伸。本課程將以25人小班制進行多元文化語境之英語教學，實踐以學習者為中心之教學理念，透過各種強調溝通之課室活動設計，引導學生有效提升其英文表達能力。 本課程所規劃之六大核心主題包括：(1) 跨文化意識及認知建構；(2) 文學賞析及評論；(3) 天然災害與國際合作；(4) 擁抱多元文化及族群差異；(5) 公民意識與社會責任；(6) 環境意識與國際公民。 除了透過主要教材Top Notch 3呈現相關內容外，本課程亦會結合討論、展演、競賽及實作等方式，強化學生探討各項議題所需之英文溝通能力，同時引導學生理解、接納並尊重異文化。期待學生能在多元文化之學習語境中，拓展視野、擁抱世界。
