Welcome to join the Sophomore English course! This course is designed to help you become a more effective communicator in the sense of gaining information and expressing yourself with confidence. This internet-assisted course aims to prepare students working in the international business field, which requires effective communicative skills in English. The team-ship oriented and task-based curriculum will help students be familiar with business-related knowledge and to foster their autonomous learning in professional communication skills. Being exposed to a variety of challenging and interesting topics, students will practice spoken English through a series of communicative and meaningful projects such as participating in peer discussion, individual and teamwork presentation, role-plays, mini case studies. The purpose of all classroom activities is to provide the target language in meaningful situations and to improve learners’ competence and performance in business communication skills. Texts and topics chosen from the business world are broad rather than specialized, including subjects such as Social & Cultural Awareness, Organization, Production, Marketing and Advertising, Trade and Performance. The communication skills covered include Meetings, Decision making, Negotiations, and Presentation, etc. A guided discovery approach to business grammar and usage will lead students to a clearer understanding of the forms and underlying concepts of English. Serving as a stepping-stone for language proficiency preparation in Business field, the course will explore the TOEIC® (Test of English for International Communication), too.
You are expected to be an energetic and active member in the class—this is possible only if you are present. Regular attendance, class participation, and learning attitude are very important for your grade and progress in the academic performance. Please make necessary preparation for weekly assigned topics, e-discussion, and project presentation; failure to do so will positively affect your final grade. You are responsible for the presence on the assigned dates for group reports and exams. If you are absent on the scheduled dates, you won’t get any grade; that is, no make-up assignments. If you miss the class for more than THREE times (excused or non-excused absences), you might not get the credits. Besides, please make necessary preparation before you come to the class; failure to do so will positively affect your final grade. By the ay, for the classroom etiquette, please listen to and show your respect for the views of your classmates. Please turn off all electronic machines during the meeting period; any noises from those will interrupt the class procedure and this is impolite to your class! Remember this – PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT! The best way to improve your English speaking ability is to talk, talk, and talk some more! Don't worry about making mistakes and don't forget that you will never learn to communicate in English if you keep your mouth closed! I hope you can try your best to follow the course and find your ways to communicate effectively! J
