Course Objective	Students will learn how to write and present using professional English, with particular focus on design and cultural vocations majors. In addition to continued focus on vocabulary and grammar, this semester, we will work on correct punctuation. Students will also read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (partially in class and partially on their own) and design an Alice-in-your-major project. Official course description: This course aims to provide pre-service design students/professionals with the adequate skills of the English language and communicative competence to facilitate their current academic and future career pursuits. Students are encouraged to utilize their domain expertise to participate in professional communication in English. Centered on the training of professional use of the English language, the ESP curriculum as the crux of a highly-integrated work of domain knowledge and the English learning development embodies the indispensable credentials required for a global profession.
Course Schedule	In addition to supplemental material related to your majors, we will be working through chapters 7–12 of American Headway, which clearly explains a lot of the grammatical intricacies that often trip up non-native speakers. It is no problem if you have not taken the first half of the course (so long as you can get a copy of the textbook) as the topics taught are not cumulative. We will also read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and do an Alice-in-your-major project. Students will also hold simulated company meetings with other students from their major.
Evaluation and grading policy	GRADING CATEGORIES Homework: 25% Quizzes/Tests: 25% Skits and Oral Activities: 10% Presentations: 10% Midterm: 20% Participation: 10% These categories may be modified at my discretion, but the midterm will always be 20%.
Materials	All right reserved. Do not reproduce without permission. Foreign-language textbooks:Yes 1) American Headway 5, 3rd edition. Please buy the book ASAP in the temporary bookstore or order it online from Caves. I believe you need to spend 1000 NT to get free shipping, though. 2) Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Students usually enjoy reading this classic! It's a great way to improve your vocabulary, logic, understanding of the English language, and cultural knowledge (as well as your understanding of English jokes and puns.)
