Course Objective
This is a one-semester, four-skill integrated course. While the first year of English focused on reading and vocabulary, the second year will emphasize speaking and listening. Students will listen to, watch, and discuss topics in pairs, groups, and in front of the entire class. They will also be encouraged to write down their thoughts. Discussion, group activities, and group presentations are examples of class activities.
Group Project
Weekly presentation: Each group will be responsible to provide an overview of the Six Minute Episode or Ted Talk, to prepare your classmates better understand the topic.
Term Project: Each group will have to choose a TED talk of their interest and introduce/recommend it to the class.
