General learning goals:

1. Develop students’ confidence in their ability to speak and comprehend English speech.

2. Improve students’ vocabulary, pronunciation, and oral grammar in English.

3. Introduce students to “cultural” conversation cues, such as speech patterns, expressions, slang, body language, etc.

Most importantly, a strong emphasis will be placed on creating a positive learning environment in which students are not afraid to speak English and are not concerned about making mistakes in front of their peers.

Classroom Policies English: This class has an English-only policy. Frequent use of Korean will result in point deductions. It is OK to make small mistakes!!! Do not be shy. Points are given for participation! Cell phones and Class Etiquette: All cell phones must be switched off or turned to manner mode before coming to class. Students will have 1 point deducted from their final score each time they use cell phones, leave class without explanation, apply make-up, use phone cameras to take pictures of information written on the board, or show general disrespect during class time. Texts: Students must purchase the assigned textbook. Required texts, notebook, and pencil / pen must be brought to every class. All supplementary materials must be kept in a binder or folder and stored for future reference. VERY IMPORTANT!!! Plagiarism and Cheating: Plagiarism is presenting the ideas or words of another person as your own. This class has a ZERO TOLERANCE policy on cheating. Students who steal the work of others and attempt to pass it off as their own in a presentation will immediately receive a failing grade for that assignment. The rule is simple: do not copy information from Internet sources, printed texts or other students.

In order to receive a passing grade in this course you must: Attend classes regularly. Students must attend a minimum of at least 2/3 of prescribed classes. Those who miss further classes without providing a doctor’s note (not a prescription) or a valid reason will get an F grade. You may miss one class period without penalty. Any further absences will result in a 1-point deduction from your attendance score. You may be late once without penalty. Each further late arrival will count as 1/3 of an absence. Any student who arrives after roll-call will be considered late. Satisfactorily complete all class work and assignments (presentation, quizzes and interview) to pass the course. Late work will be subject to an appropriate point deduction.

This course will provide students with valuable preparation for the spoken components of the TOEIC, TOEFL, and IELTS tests. In addition, students will be able to utilise the conversation skills learned in this class in a variety of real-life situations. These include having informal conversations with native speakers, taking interviews in English, and using functional English when working, studying or travelling in an English-speaking country.
