Teaching Schedule

The course will be divided into three parts : Part I : Teaching and Learning in class. The

instructor will introduce the techniques through English lectures and materials. Students are expected to read English materials and practice concrete examples. Homework will be given for students to practice, and further reading materials will be given for those students who are interested in.

Teaching Schedule

The course will be divided into three parts (Cont.): Part II : Practice. Students will form several

groups, each of which will complete a case study and write an English report. This way students will learn how to cooperate and communicate with each other, and how to write reports in English.

Teaching Schedule

The course will be divided into three parts (Cont.): Part III : Oral discussion. Each group will read

papers about new test techniques and give a presentation in class. Through this practice, students will learn how to do research, how to cooperate and communicate with each other, and how to present in English.
