This one-year course is designed to improve and enhance students’ overall English competence through listening, speaking, and reading activities plus grammar review and vocabulary development. Students will have opportunities to learn the key components of English (pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar) and practice language learning strategies, get exposed to English in any form (listening, reading, speaking, and writing), and develop their confidence and fluency while they are practicing and performing various language tasks in the classroom and outside the classroom. In this course, students are expected to consolidate their essential knowledge of English language and engage themselves in everyday communication.

Plan the course and change the plan if it's necessary. 2. Give you both written and oral feedback. I take the assignments in this class seriously, and I believe that giving feedback a top priority. 3. Bring my expertise into the classroom. For example, many years of my study, professional experience (well, I work as a translator), and stories from real life. I believe that we can learn through stories. (You, too, are encouraged to bring stories to class to stimulate discussion.) 4. Regard struggling with ideas as a process of learning. 5. Be open about different ideas. 6. Treat you with respect since you are adult learners. HERE IS WHAT I EXPECT FROM YOU: 1. Class attendance, lesson preparation and active class participation are required. If you are absent for more than 6 hours with no valid excuses, you will fail this course. 2. Absence from a class is NO excuse for not knowing the assignment and what has been discussed in that class. It is YOUR responsibility to ask your fellow classmates what has been covered and what will be doing in the class. Effort to make this class your own. Always ask yourself: What will I do to promote my learning? 3. Plagiarism and cheating on the exam is absolutely not acceptable. If someone is found plagiarizing or cheating on an exam, it means he/she will get a zero point for that exam. If you have any questions regarding the expectations for a specific assignment or exam, please do not hesitate to ask. 4. Honesty. I will ask you many questions throughout the semester. “I don’t know,” “I need to think about it for a while,” or “I need to pass on that question” are acceptable answers. 5. There will be NO make-up exams/presentations unless valid and official reasons for absence are presented beforehand. 6. The handouts given in the class should be kept at least till the end of the semester for later reference or final exam. 加簽說明: 不開放加簽。 AI-assisted reports and assignments encouraged broadly: Students can use AI but must identify what parts it generated 完全開放使用但須註明使用生成式AI產出之部分。 Teaching Activities 1.
