Course description and aims
“Oral Expression in English” courses are devoted to improving students’ skills in speaking. Apart from the context of giving presentations, effective speaking also involves effective listening, so the classwork and homework in these courses require students engaged in speech and listening exercises.
As an elective 200-level course, Oral Expression in English 6 extends the materials of Oral Expression in English 5, while maintaining the approach of generating effective oral communication involving listening and speaking between pairs of speakers. Objectives also include using vocabulary and grammar introduced in the textbook and classes.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to confidently discuss a BROADER selection of fairly complex topics to do with society and cross-cultural phenomena in one-on-one conversations with people they have not met before.
