達成目標/Course objectives

The purpose of this course is to prepare students for attending academic lectures in English. By the end of the course students should be proficient in academic reading, listening, and summary writing. Each lesson will consist of a short reading text, followed by a short lecture on the same topic. Students will be required to write a summary of the main points of the lecture, stating how those points relate to the reading. In Lessons 12, 13, and 14 we will examine some other types of summary.

No marks are awarded for 'attendance, punctuality, and participation'. However, students will lose marks if they break the Class Rules, which are:

The teacher is strict with these rules.
