英語溝通與表達技巧(doc 8頁)

英語溝通與表達技巧內容提要：
The course of ENGLISH COMMUNICATIONS & EXPRESSIONS is aimed at developing students’ English language skills of oral expression, in coordination with reading, listening and writing. The course will also give attention to the learning of grammar, vocabulary, semantic interpretation and general writing strategies. The year-long program seeks to develop both lucidity and accuracy in English through a topic-based syllabus designed by the instructor. The topics in New Interchange (NI) 3 by Prof. Jack C. Richards (Cambridge University) and other authentic materials will be used in class for enhancing students’ speaking capability. Other timely, authentic, insightful articles from different sources will be selected to provide maximum opportunities for discussion and personalized practices in class. These two specially adapted categories will promote the development of both linguistic and communication skills. Such endeavor will enable the students to fulfill the goal of speaking proficiency of English.
Discussion will be carried out in the format of “individual lecture” on the part of the instructor, and “group dynamics” on part of the students. Selected articles will be prepared and provided by the instructor for discussions together with the textbook, New Interchange (NI) 3. Concepts and strategies leading to oral presentation in English will be introduced so as to enable the students to have a glimpse of the practical functions of formal spoken English. In addition, students are encouraged to foster their spoken English so as to enhance the quality of speaking. One of the final goals of the course is to enable the students to extend the speaking skill o the area of Translation and Interpretation (T&I). To foster this goal, daily practice and weekly presentation will be required.
