學術英文閱讀與寫作

GENERAL GUIDELINE: Course Goals and Target Level - All courses should aim to develop students' academic English proficiency at CEFR B2 level. - 80% of the course content is academic in nature (lectures, academic articles, discussions, reports, presentations, etc.). - The focus is on preparing students for academic study, including critical thinking, sourcebased communication, and genre-specific tasks.
