Freshman English (I) Course Objective: Freshman English I is an integrated course designed to develop students’ four English skills (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.

1. Students should check the syllabus and materials uploaded by the instructor on the assigned database first instead of keeping emailing the instructor asking questions. If students have questions, he or she should stay after each class to ask the instructor face to face. 2. Students should participate in class actively. 20 points will be deducted from the attendance score if you skip one class and 10 points will be deducted from the attendance score if you are 20 minutes late each time. If you skip the class 5 times, both of your attendance score and participation score will be zero points. 3. Students who are sick or have other emergencies can ask for a leave via NCTU Students Leave System (http://stuoffcourse.nctu.edu.tw/) or email the instructor with valid proof. However, constant asking for sick leave such as headaches, stomachaches etc. without any proof is viewed as excuses and will not be accepted by the instructor. 4. No late assignments will be accepted unless you have legitimate and proper reasons.
