Required:

Judith Tanka and Lida R. Baker. Interactions II: A Listening/Speaking Skills Book.

I want to improve your listening comprehension by helping you learn how to listen. You will be listening to recordings of native speakers and in turn, you will have an opportunity to participate in various listening and speaking activities. We will have three types of speaking activities in our class in order to help you improve your speaking skills: very informal real-life conversations, informal discussions similar to an experience in a university class, and oral presentations. We will also have some TOEFL practice in this class.

Participation, participation, and more participation! You must be an active learner in my class. Each student will be given a pass/fail grade based on class participation, attendance, oral presentations, completion of assignments, and quizzes (if any). Please come to class on time every day.
