Overview
The course is designed for English-majored students to obtain listening and speaking skills at intermediate level (B1+). To be more specific, students can achieve listening-speaking strategies (getting main ideas and details) and can comprehend common themes of work, school, entertainment, hobbies, experience description, dream, etc. and then discuss, give reasons as well as explain ideas about the given topics. Moreover, students can broaden their general knowledge and pool of vocabulary through units. Furthermore, academic skills, such as inferring, summarizing, giving presentation, group-work, test-taking are emphasized during in-class activities to develop learners’ critical thinking and study skills.
