COMMUNICATION ENGLISH Ⅲ

This program is designed to give students the confidence and ability to communicate in everyday English conversations. This program focuses on practical daily conversation. In this class we will approach language learning through presentation, reinforcement, and expansion of communication forms and structures that promote the gradual but secure development of the listening, speaking, reading and writing skills gained in previous classes.

This course is designed to challenge students. We hope to challenge your ideas of communication, successful communication strategies, your own skills, and more. The tasks we will encounter are – it is hoped – designed to allow you to evolve and cultivate new strategies, skills, and insights into how messages, ideas, and emotions are shared and received. Ultimately, students will emerge with a new outlook on sharing ideas & emotions with others. In order to achieve these goals, students need to be energetic, open-minded, and responsible. In relation to Communication Skills I, this course aims to give students greater confidence, experience, and wisdom to work without teacher guidance. The focus for tasks is to work independently and creatively, with students forming their own plans, directing their work, and so on.

Ssuccessful students are the kind of people who... • Submit assignments in a timely manner, and following guidelines for format and so on. Failure to do so may dramatically reduce the final grade, or result in a zero for the assignment. [Any and all extensions must receive prior approval or penalties will be assessed: the assignment may not be accepted, and/or the final grade will be reduced.] • Avail themselves of the class website. • Show and accept responsibility for themselves, their work, and their actions. • Exhibit academic honesty, integrity, and originality. Plagiarism will be strongly punished. • Monitor their progress in the course, maintaining records of their assignment scores, attendance, and so on. • Participate positively in class, with an open mind and a receptive attitude. Reflect on their work and use the insight gained to guide themselves in their progress ...among other actions.

This course will aid students in their continued studies at KAC, and also provide valuable opportunities for cultivating skills to be used in the work world.
