● 英語Ｃ（中級）法ⅠＦ
―Communication Strategies―

002-D-212

In this class, students will use a textbook and handouts to improve their English abilities. The focus of the class will be to boost students' understanding and use of English grammar, vocabulary, and conversation strategies, as well as common areas of English not often practiced by students. Students will engage in activities alone, in pairs, and in groups. All four language areas (i.e., speaking, listening, reading, and writing) will be targeted.

In this course, students will (1) gain confidence in speaking English, (2) learn and practice functional conversational grammar patterns, (3) develop listening skills for general understanding and conversational purposes, (4) learn additional reading and writing techniques, and (5) develop useful life skills.

The class will attempt to cover all chapters in the textbook. It is expected that 8 handouts will also be covered, but we will try for sure to cover 7 handouts.

Classes will not be taught lecture style. Because this is a language class, students MUST speak up in class. Students cannot only sit and listen. They must try to extend their English abilities. Students will be expected to bring all class materials (i.e., textbook, handouts, dictionary) to each lesson, as the teacher will guide the students through the textbook and handouts.

Download and print Download Handouts. Occasionally complete before class (approx. 15 mins.).

Review TOEIC strategies (approx. 15 mins.).
