Course Syllabus

Abstract

This 200 level course is designed to reinforce and improve upon the skills that students have learned at the 100 level or through previous study. The focus of the class will be on improving comprehensive skills, with an emphasis on developing oral fluency. In addition, the course will include regular reading, grammar and vocabulary components taken from authentic or semi/graded authentic materials. Students will also focus on improving their critical thinking skills through writing and discussion of the topics covered in class. Topics will cover a broad range of issues, from social and historical topics to political and economic themes in order to expand upon the students’ knowledge of specialized vocabulary. Pre-discussion tasks will include vocabulary priming exercises, focused grammar practice, or authentic media presentations. Selected articles will be presented for analysis and discussion with further possible use as a writing topic.
