Periodically throughout the semester, speaking/writing exercises will be given in class. These exercises can NOT be made up.



Oral presentations



You will give a group presentation during the semester. You and your teammates will research and present your view on a given topic. The presentation should be 5 minutes for each student. More details will be provided in class.



 



Written assignments



There will be three written assignments based on the learning materials for the course. More details will be provided in class.



 



Examinations



All materials, including the readings, handouts, and information provided in class will potentially be included on midterm and final exams. The midterm exam includes vocabulary/grammar questions, a writing task and an interview. The final exam contains a written test and a speaking test (video interview). The speaking test requires you to answer a number of questions, each question for two minutes. The instructor will evaluate your ability to respond to the questions appropriately and fluently. No make-up exams will be given unless you have received the instructor’s permission in advance.
