Course Information

Intended learning outcomes

This course aims to enhance students’ ability to communicate effectively in an English-speaking workplace. Students will develop these skills by engaging in discussions based upon discipline-related readings, preparing and delivering a presentation, improving their writing (focus on emails), further enhancing their grammatical awareness, and adding to their subject-specific vocabulary. 

Teaching methodology

Major emphases are placed on spoken interaction and exercises in the classroom, extensive self-study, regular reading and understanding of English texts to use as source material for the students’ own presentation and writing, and practicing their own writing and speaking/presenting in English.

The intention is to conduct the course entirely face-to-face, but it may switch to online as the situation demands.

The course will be conducted entirely in English.

Course content

The course will encompass methods and materials for:

  • engaging in compelling discipline relevant discussions
  • effective presentation preparation and delivery
  • efficient and coherent communication via email
  • expansion and inclusion of discipline-specific vocabulary
  • ensuring adequate grammatical competency.

Prior knowledge expected
