This class is a general English oral communication class for second-year students. It will use the Oxford Bookworms Club texts and method for developing engagement and discussions in class.

This class is based on a Reading Circle Model. The students read one short story per week and fill out one A4 worksheet in English reflecting on that story. They then come to class to discuss the story in small groups of four to five members. The teacher leads in developing strong groups for speaking, discussion and presentation, while facilitating and monitoring the practice of speaking English. We will be speaking English in every class.

Students will be expected to 1) read one short chapter of the textbook per week (10-12 pages), fill in the activities at the end of each chapter (Word Focus. Story Focus 1 and 2), and fill out a Reading Circle Role Sheet--1 A4 Sheet about your reaction to the story. Homework study for this class, for regular students, will take between 1-2 hours on a normal week and may take up 3-4 hours on special occasions such as before a presentation or an exam.

Points to remember:This is a speaking, communication course and thus requires facial communication. Therefore, the teacher requests that students not wear face masks during the communication parts of the lesson (which is most of the class). Exceptions will only be made for verifiable, (doctor's note) medical reasons.
