This course focuses on building academic English skills at the B2 level to prepare students for academic success. Approximately 80% of the course content is academic-related. It aims to enhance students' academic English reading abilities and develop academic discussion skills based on critical reading of and reference to source materials (e.g., opinion essays, periodicals, and special reports). In this class, students will read the source materials with enhanced fluency following 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). Academic 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. By the end of the course, students will learn to: - understand the main idea and key information of source materials. - Understand and synthesize information from source materials and make appropriate inferences. - Infer the authors' opinions, attitudes, and writing purposes - lead and participate in effective group discussions, and refer to source materials in group discussions - integrate information from source materials, and summarize key points clearly and accurately - describe, compare, and make inferences on source materials - formulate arguments based on the source materials and support arguments with sufficient details and evidence
