Course Description (English Version)
The objective of this course is to enhance students’ English listening and speaking abilities. By way of presentations, group discussions, impromptu reports and oral exams, the students’ English communicative and expressive abilities are expected to be greatly improved. In this class, students will learn to listen patiently and express courageously. They will also develop confidence as well as independent and critical thinking. In addition, as students need to read plenty of materials for the preparing of the speeches, and are required to write down their speeches as well as make up handouts relevant to the contents of the speeches (by itemizing the points of the speeches and listing a number of key words), they will also improve their English reading and writing abilities.

Intermediate Conversation (II) focuses on “exploration”, “argumentation” and “persuasion”, i.e., the students will perform in pairs the skills of exploration, argumentation or persuasion via a specific topic. The topics will be voted by the students themselves from a list of topics provided by the instructor; students can add new ones if they like, so the topics may vary year from year.

The objective of this course is to enhance students’
English listening and speaking abilities.
Extended Courses
Advanced English Conversation I
Developing students’ communicative skills will be the most crucial goal; therefore, to make students have deeper thinking through issues and discussions is a way that provides them much room to start and develop conversations better. Withdrawing the specific word from the issues, to enlarge their vocabulary based on the topic will be considered as part of this course. Functional and situational syllabus design will be also applied to this course through some materials.
