Description
This course will place emphasis on improving language skills in four different areas: 1) improving listening and note-taking skills through listening to academic lectures and taking notes in class, 2) developing effective strategies for improving reading skills, 3) reviewing grammatical structures in English that often prove troublesome to second language learners, 4) improving oral skills by giving oral presentations in class, participating in roleplays, and completing classroom projects with a partner or interactively with a group. The course will provide opportunities for students to be exposed to a variety of academic topics through text, audio and videotapes, and guest lecturers.
