| ENGL 250 - English for Communication I |
|
English Language for Communication I is designed to enhance learners’ reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. It enables students to understand, express, evaluate, and apply ideas related to contemporary topics in real-life contexts. Reading and listening activities include a range of authentic texts so that critical thinking, reading, listening strategies, and fluency are developed. The speaking tasks and activities focus on expressing and justifying opinions as well as comparing/contrasting and evaluating possible options to reach an agreement. These tasks and activities improve students’ oral communication and critical-thinking skills and promote collaboration. The writing tasks and activities aim at developing students’ writing skills and expanding their language repertoire. The activities and interaction through in-class discussions and various digital media encourage independent learning and collaboration among students, as well as self and peer-teaching. They also require students to reflect and make decisions, which promote learner centeredness and entrepreneurial thinking.
