Course Objectives: | To improve students' Listening and Speaking skills |
Course Content: | This upper-intermediate course is a follow-up to CORE 303 and it aims to endow students with progress in their listening ability by providing instruction on active listening including interpretation, comprehension of both lectures and interviews, engagement with student dialogues, interpreting and explaining mind maps, and interacting effectively with diagrams. Expressive skills are enhanced through the study of analogies, participation in debate, paraphrasing and scripting, extended brainstorming techniques, use of persuasive language, and referencing of external materials in their language production process. |
