Course Content

English 312 is a learner-centered and integrated-skill based course and is designed to help nonnative speakers of the English language to improve intelligibility and communicability and help them gain self-confidence, and self-monitoring abilities in English. Tasks including various functions and situations of speaking will be integrated with up-to-date and authentic materials to enable students to express themselves spontaneously, fluently, and in the appropriate manner in English. The task types include monologues and dialogues accompanied by pronunciation, intonation, stress, and grammar activities when required. The reading and listening skills will be utilized as a means for speaking outcomes, and the writing skill will mainly function as a self-reflection tool. The course will also offer a supportive learning environment to help students gain an understanding regarding the phonological and morphological impacts of Latin and Greek on the English language.
