這門為人社系學生設計的學術英文課將以加強英文書寫與口說為主,因為寫與說往往是台灣學生最害怕也最陌生的部份,但這堂課將會使用有趣的媒介、課堂互動、以及時序漸進的安排,一步一步地帶領各位學生闖關跳級。我們將綜合使用寫作教材以及獎學金申請要覽,一起熟悉學術英文的基本架構、語法、思考與邏輯重點,學習如何建立輕鬆卻有效率的心態與習慣,並且透過練習寫一篇兩頁的計畫書,感受學術寫作的要訣,即使只會簡單的單字和語法,都可以找到方式讓自己的寫作變得有力量又迷人!這堂課也會介紹不同的媒體材料,學習不同情境以及不同主題下人文社會學科的英語表達風格,透過簡短的課堂練習與互動,讓同學習慣以英語口說表達自己的想法。這堂課適合有興趣出國交換、念書、有需要寫申請文件、想練習口說、或者對英語世界的人文社會學有興趣的同學一起學習! After completing the tasks for this course, students should learn how to: 1. Find relevant methods to improve your English language skills; 2. Write a short proposal in clear, concise, coherent, convincing ways; 3. Present and communicate your ideas effectively.
In-class discussion 5% * 7 = 35% The 2-page proposal - Weekly Assignments 5% * 5 = 25% - Final 15% Conference presentation 15% Others 10% Note: This is an interaction-based course which requires engaged participation. You will be dropped from this course when you miss more than three classes.
