―Expressing opinions in English―

002-D-212

This class utilizes a cooperative learning approach, so students are expected to participate actively in pair work, group activities and group presentations. The topics for discussion and presentations will come from the textbook, Impact Issues 2, which focuses on helping students express opinions in English. Vocabulary activities as well as homework assignments will further enhance English-language skills and provide opportunities for individual research on topics of interest.

The aim of the course is to further develop students’ skills in English communication. The course will include a variety of topics that encourage students to become more comfortable expressing and supporting their opinions. The focus will be on improving listening and speaking skills with some writing and reading skills practice. Students will also be expected to do extensive reading outside class and share what they have read in class.
