Freshman English I is an integrated course designed to develop students' four English skills (i.e., listening, speaking, reading, & writing) with an emphasis on speaking and listening. In this course, students will: -Identify listening problems and develop listening strategies and skills, -Gain confidence in speaking and improve speaking fluency, pronunciation, and conversation strategies, -Develop general reading skills, including word skills and comprehension strategies, -Develop writing fluency by giving students opportunities to articulate ideas in short writings of approximately 170-200 words. For example, students can respond to topics addressed in class through writing assignments that focus on content and expression of ideas, rather than the structure of the written English. Other practical examples could include emails, note-taking, letter writing or comments.

The instructor will take attendance spontaneously. Any absence will detract from a student's participation grade. Three unexcused absences will result in an automatic failure of the course(不可超過三次無故缺席).
