ENGLISH COMMUNICATIONS EXPRESSIONS 英語溝通與表達 SYLLABUS/ Spring 2006 2/21/2006 – 6/20/2006 Junior, Department of English Shih Hsin University Chen-ching Li, 李振清Ph.D. TEL: (02) 2236-8225 ext 3501, e-Mail: ccli@.tw .tw/~cte/gallery/ccli/0_album_ccli.htm Welcome back to our promising Shih Hsin University, right after the Chinese New Year’s vacation. Following the challenging and productive fall semester of 2005, all students are encouraged to brace for another even more challenging and innovative term, based on the basic contents of New Interchange 3 and other authentic articles/references provided by the instructor. A series of activities aiming at the development of “productive skills” (speaking and writing) will be programmed, including basic “simultaneous interpretation” and “writing for publication”, plus weekly “oral presentations”. Bear in mind the correlation of the four language skills, as attached. It is mandatory that the forging of the four language arts be actively enforced, if we want to attain fluency of the English language. On January 30, 2004, I received the following e-mail message from China Post’s Mr. A. Lee. His suggestion is invaluable to all: Taiwanese or Chinese dont think that we can write English -- which is wrong. Students should be taught, Yes, we can. Students of Shih Hsin should be encouraged to communicate (speak and write) their ideas and concepts in English. They should be required to write and speak in English in classes to qualify as a good journalist. Even if they cannot use high sounding words like the foreign journalists, they should learn to use simple words to express themselves clearly. Information for the textbook and grading scale remain the same as those of last semester. A listening comprehension test will be administered in each class. Follow the syllabus closely for your weekly assignment, together with the authentic materials provided by the instructor. Your success in enhancing your English proficiency is guaranteed i
