概要
In this class you will be doing task based learning with a combination of speaking, writing, reading and listening activities. The emphasis will be on increasing your communication skills, along with your information literacy skills, critical thinking, as well as academic and research skills using both a thematic & structural approach with materials focusing on chemistry.
到達基準
You will be expected to attend class regularly and actively participate in expressing your ideas and opinions in English and to work with other students to improve your English language skills in addition to your information literacy skills, critical thinking, research and study skills. You are required to work with class notes and vocabulary practice, do a series of assignments & practice exercises, independent study, along with taking quizzes. You are asked to keep your work in a portfolio which is a collection of your work, using a plastic file folder with dividers (not a binder style) that will be reviewed twice in the term - both as a midterm and as a final review.
