教学大纲及教学日历 SYLLABUS

15. 教学目标 Course Objectives

This course aims to raise the speaking fluency and improve the listening skills of students. Through large amounts of

daily interaction and practice, students will develop a higher level of confidence and “automaticity” in the target

language.

Daily course activities will include large amounts of communication opportunities, of many different types. Every student

can expect to speak a lot and speak often. At the same time, listening skills will be developed through frequent listening

activities, including the voices of their peers in class. With very light content from the textbook, the course will build upon

prior student knowledge and student opinions. In the first hour of each meeting, the goal is to work from materials or

texts students prepare in advance. In the second hour of each meeting, students will respond spontaneously to listening

materials introduced in the class.

Students will compile a portfolio of materials both paper and electronic. At the end of the course, the portfolio will

demonstrate progress to the student both in their actual skills and their awareness of their performance.
