Course Description (English Version)
The purpose of this course is to promote student interest in the study of English within an English-speaking environment. It is also designed to improve communicative competence through the reading, listening, speaking and writing of English in order to meet academic requirements. This design focuses on the study of basic and advanced skills and styles by reading, writing, understanding and appreciating British and American literature and culture through the use of magazine articles, textbook passages, essays, poems, and short stories. It is also designed to encourage the student to open his or her mind through the discussion of literature and humanism using movies based on novels, and new strategies and activities for TOEFL®iBT and TOEIC Tests from ETS. Through this process, critical thinking is also encouraged by employing extensive reading selections and the use of internet resources for sharing. Film viewing, academic writings, sample essays continue to develop critical thinking skills by exposure to global issues. This will help the student to practice oral and written English and to build personal values, quality of life and an appreciation of global cultures. In this way the student is able to develop a professional fondness for English and thus to continue study in three areas – language, literature, and linguistics. Thus, this design will aid in preparing the student for self-study for a lifetime.
