COLLEGE ENGLISH I

COLLEGE ENGLISH (I, II, III)는 일상생활에서 필요한 실용적인 영어 능력을 대학생들이 갖출 수 있도록 도와주는 종합 영어과목이다. 이 과목은 총 3개의 레벨로 나뉘고, 각 레벨 별로 학생들의 영어 구사 능력에 맞는 맞춤형 학습 경험을 제공한다. 수업을 통해 학생들은 영어 듣기, 말하기, 읽기 및 쓰기 능력을 점진적으로 향상시킬 것이며, 다양한 현실 상황에서 효과적이고 자신감 있게 의사소통할 수 있게 될 것이다. 레벨 1은 영어 기본적인 영어 표현, 문법, 어휘력을 키움으로써 학생들이 간단한 일상 대화를 할 수 있도록 지도하는 것에 중점을 주며, 레벨 2는 다양한 주제에 대한 의견을 영어로 표현하고 구조화된 대화를 하며 이에 걸맞은 읽기와 쓰기 능력을 갖추게 한다. 레벨 3은 프레젠테이션, 토론 등을 통해 높은 수준의 듣기, 말하기, 읽기, 쓰기 능력을 개발하도록 한다.

The goal of this course is to improve students' English skill through weekly discussion, interaction, and activities. Students should gain confidence with their ability and have the comfort to speak everyday English with their peers as well as with foreigners.

Students are required to bring their books and materials to class with them every time. The most important aspects of the class are to participate, be active, and speak English as much as possible. There is no substitute for effort and good attitude.

This class focuses on everyday English, so the English we will be using is for practical use. Daily conversation as well as introductions and discussions will be practiced in everyday English class. Students should gain the basics for using English in a common, typical situation. These situations could be asking for help, getting information, meeting a foreigner for the first time etc. It is an introductory course so the main goal will be to expose the students to these kinds of situations giving them a chance to get familiar and comfortable using English in these type situations.
