Course Objective
In this one-year, four-skill integrated course, students will strengthen their language skills essential for college-level coursework. It covers skills and strategies for effective reading and writing, vocabulary building, critical thinking, and academic presentation. Students will be encouraged to discuss and write about the ideas they discover in readings to become better speakers and writers of English. Additionally, students will engage in a variety of activities, including group discussions, personal sharing, group projects, and presentations.

In the first semester, this class will integrate a chatbot as the students’ conversation partner for weekly interactions. This will provide students with practical speaking opportunities, aiming to improve their speaking confidence, vocabulary use, and learning motivation.
