Primary Aim The aim of this course is to develop students’ English listening and speaking skills through real-life international business scenarios. The course emphasizes accuracy and clarity in business communication, enabling students to express themselves effectively in a business context. Students will also demonstrate their ability to apply business English in practical situations to reflect the knowledge acquired in class. Subsidiary Aims This course will help students: Understand and use business-specific vocabulary and terminology accurately in context. Apply listening and note-taking strategies to comprehend lectures, interviews, and discussions. Communicate effectively in spoken and written English across specific business contexts. Participate confidently in discussions, presentations, and negotiations, using appropriate language for formal and semi-formal situations. Critically evaluate their peers’ business presentations and reflect on their own performance. Design and deliver individual business presentations, construct meaningful dialogues, and conduct a simulated face-to-face interview with the instructor.

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. 40 points will be deducted from the attendance score if you skip one class and 20 points will be deducted from the attendance score if you are 20 minutes late each time. If you skip the class 3 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 NYCU Students Leave System and inform the instructor face-to-face next time in class. 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 to inform the instructor beforehand.
