112年第1學期-8651 大二英文：日常溝通 課程資訊

教育目標

[英文片語的魔力] 此2-學分學期課程乃針對想提升日常英文口語能力的學生而設計，授課教師利用大量使用各類英文片語來達成此教學目標。英文片語在本課程中涵蓋範疇廣泛，包括截斷字、縮寫字詞、動詞片語、明喻、隱喻、陳詞俗語（格言及俗諺)、俚語等類別。為使學生能在英語口說表現中充分使用片語，授課教師也在教學中融入溝通技巧及策略。基本而言，課程教材教授以有組織、有系統的方式，結合教師掌控的引導式講解及以學生為主的個人和互動練習活動。企盼學生能理解、整合、應用、及內化他們在課堂所學，進而具備更為道地的英語口說能力。 [The Magic of Fixed Expressions] This 2-credit semester-long course is designed for students who would like to enhance their daily oral English proficiency. The instructor capitalizes on the massive use of a wide variety of English fixed expressions to achieve this teaching goal. In this course, English fixed expressions are viewed in a broad sense, including clipped words, contractions, phrasal verbs, similes, metaphors, clichés (proverbs & sayings), and slang. To allow students to make the most of fixed expressions in their English oral production, the instructor also incorporates communication skills and strategies into teaching. Basically, class materials will be covered through an integration of teacher-controlled guidance and student-centered practice in individual and interactive activities in an organized, systematic way. Hopefully, students will understand, integrate, apply, and internalize what they have learned in class and equip themselves with the ability to speak in English in a more native-like fashion.

課程概述

「大二英文」是一個以學習者為中心的模組化課程。針對學生個人學習興趣及相關系所之專業需求，開設四大模組課程，分別為「職涯與專業」、「日常溝通」、「多元文化」以及「自我表達技巧」。四大模組分別由具有共同核心目標但涵蓋不同主題之課程所建構而成。所有的課程均以學期為單位，學生可以根據個別興趣及需求，於上、下學期選擇兩門不同的模組課程。本課程將以25人小班制進行互動式教學，結合討論、展演及實作等各類學習活動，讓學生能在更多元、自主的學習語境中，具體強化其英語文溝通能力。 本課程屬於「日常溝通」模組，強調英語學習與真實生活的連結，透過各種對話範例與練習讓學生將所學運用於日常生活中。除了日常生活詞彙外，常用口語和慣用語也是本模組所要涵蓋的核心內容。 The SENM program is a student-centered module-based program which offers students choices and small, interactive classes. The program encourages students to tailor their English learning to their specific needs and interests by offering four semester-based modules: Career and Profession, Daily Communication, Multiculturalism, and Self-Expression Skills. Additionally, within each of the four modules, there are different themes, or topics, around which each course‘s curriculum is built. Each SENM student can choose two different module courses in one academic year according to their needs and interests. The program’s small class size (no more than 25 students) means that a variety of class activities such as discussions, role plays, and presentations are an integral part of the program. This specific course belongs to the Daily Communication Module. This module emphasizes real-life English for effective communication. It provides conversation models and practices for a variety of common scenarios in everyday life. Apart from daily-life vocabulary, frequently-used colloquial and idiomatic expressions are the two major language components covered. Course Objectives: On completion of the course, students should be able to 1) use effectively the vocabulary and expressions acquired in the course to address daily-life topics; 2) use spontaneously the conversation strategies acquired in the course to initiate, sustain, and end communication; 3) communicate with others effectively in various daily-life situations; and 4) express themselves in English more confidently.
