概要 Description
In this course, students will improve their communicative English skills through a variety of readings, discussions, activities, and review work all focused on photography. Topics include historical, social, political, cultural, and creative arts themes. 

IMPORTANT: This is an English class, not a photography class. However, the subject matter will focus on photography.

Students are expected to actively participate with classmates in English in pair, group, and full class discussion activities throughout the course. This strategy is critical to not only improving English skills but also confidence when speaking English and expression one’s views and ideas.

Students will be required to demonstrate their communication skills in each and every class by way of their preparation, participation, and English output in spoken, written, and/or oral form. Certain unit themes will require students to present ideas to the class, not merely sharing with partner(s).

This English course is intended to be engaging, fun, and productive. The themes and activities are designed to give students maximum opportunity to share their personal views, opinions, and experiences. While some of the activities have specific correct answers, most of the activities accommodate a range of answers and/or ideas. Students should feel encouraged to speak and use English in this environment.

    

                                   
     
目的 Objectives

Furthermore, students will be able to negotiate meaning and be able to deal with
