教育目標

The course is to assist low level of English proficiency students to become autonomous English language learners. By building up students’ fundamental English through listening, speaking, reading, and writing activities, students are expected to develop English literacy in classes as well as carry on a conversation in daily life. In addition, two simplified novels will be used in class to promote students’ motivation of English language learning.

課程概述

Freshman English is a first-year required course. The goal of the course is primarily to improve the proficiency of students in communicative language skills with an emphasis on speaking and writing. A functional, notional approach is taken to planning objectives to help students gain confidence in using English in social interactions. Therefore, active participation in the class is a prerequisite for successful completion. A variety of activities are used throughout the year including dialogues, role-plays, pair work, small group projects and whole class discussions. The syllabus includes a general review of grammar and many class activities attempt to integrate these grammar components. Therefore, students are given the opportunity to apply the rules to real-life situations that they might encounter in an English-speaking country. Teachers encourage students to monitor their grammar usage while improving their level of fluency.
