The aim of this course is to enhance students' critical English reading abilities and develop more formal discussion skills based on critical reading of and reference to source materials. In this class, students will read a variety of texts styles with enhanced fluency following coherent and effective use of reading strategies. Students will also actively engage in extensive reading with a critical perspective (e.g., distinguishing between fact and opinion, evaluating sources, and identifying points of view). Discussion skills will be practiced in a variety of formats including whole-class analysis of topical issues, problem-solving group work, or short individual oral presentations. A focus on pronunciation of key words and application vocabulary or sentence structures presented in reading is recommended.
1. Attendance: two points will be deducted for one absence for no reason, one for a sick leave or a leave for personal affairs, and no deduction for school with a proof. 2. You're required to actively participate in weekly in-class discussion. Your participation will be evaluated. 3. You will work in a group of 3 students throughout the semester. Before each class, read the assigned article and come up with one comprehension question and one discussion question for discussion. Group members will take turn reporting the result of their discussion in class. 4. There will be a group presentation on Week 17. More details and the guidelines will be announced in the first class.
