課程概述

This three-hour advanced oral communication course is for high-level English language learners who want to think deeply and speak clearly. Over the semester, students will take part in lively weekly conversations about current events, controversial issues, and topics close to their hearts. Ample opportunity to practice speaking both with and without preparation will be given, allowing students to sharpen their ability to reason through complex issues and persuade an audience. In the first half of the semester, the course will dive into global “hot topics” to generate discussion and learn how to back up points with logical, well-structured support. In the second half, students take the lead by choosing and researching topics (from global issues to personal passions), leading to individualized inquiry and meaningful discussions. While oral expression is the main emphasis of the course, writing and logical reasoning will serve as tools for organizing thoughts and supporting coherent, compelling arguments. By the end of the semester, students will speak English with more clarity, confidence, and conviction.
