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.

The course design features a small-class (no more than 25 students) learning and four modules. These four modules are: Multiculturalism, Presentation and Public Speaking, Career and Profession, and Daily Communication.
