Course Goals
This course aims to upgrade students’ critical thinking
abilities by responding to the issues addressed in the textbook.
Students can observe how real-life speakers adopt effective
language and communication skills to deliver their ideas. The final
project of this course, including a written report and an oral
presentation is to further improve not only language skills but also
presentation skills. The assignment which requires students to read,
write, and talk about one of the major global issues of their choice
can sharpen their analytical thinking skills needed for academic as
well as professional tasks.
