課程概述

This is a three-credit course. Its purpose is to give students, who have some background in English but want to improve their conversational fluency, an opportunity to enhance their communication skills in English. This course will cover some speech functions of conversations which learners of English often encounter and need to practice. It is designed to teach students how to perform certain language functions in English by presenting the social rules for language use. The emphasis is on developing fluency, so students will be given lots of practice in dealing with frequently encountered functions and situations. Students are engaged in a variety of both controlled and communicative exercises or activities so that they can bridge the gap between knowing speech functions and grammatical structures and using them.
