講義概要/Course description
|
Theme: Academic English proficiency in speaking and listening.
This course is designed as the next course, following Academic English I.
This course is one of the two integrated English courses instructed solely in English (the other is a Reading & Writing course). Students will take both courses with the same native English instructor in a small class. Each class is 90 minutes in length and meets three times a week.
The goal of this course is the acquisition of communicative English proficiency in an academic context. The students will continue to be exposed to a variety of topics relevant to their academic lives. Through personalized conversations with their classmates, it is expected that the students will gain confidence in using English for communication. Not only will students improve their command of communicative English, but they will also gain knowledge about specific content areas that will help them improve their ability to interact in academic contexts. Students will be expected to participate actively and collaboratively, working in pairs and groups.
Tutoring: Periodically, the native English instructor will meet a small groups of students outside of class times, in order to discuss progress and develop strategies for improvement, where needed. The sessions will be done on a sign-up basis.
IELTS and TOEIC:
● IELTS: If students fail to achieve their required IELTS score in the first semester, they will need to arrange and pay for further IELTS exams independently.
● TOEIC: Students need to take the TOEIC exam in December in order to verify progress.

Each ‘Lecture plan’ above entails two units; the first one for pre-intermediate, and the second one for intermediate. The ‘Lecture plan’ will remain flexible, depending on student progress.
All lessons will be taught by a native-speaking instructor, and an English-only classroom environment will be maintained.
