Course Description: This course is designed to
build high beginning to low intermediate students’ skills in
listening, speaking, reading and writing. This is the first of
four writing courses in which students will be required to
study throughout their study at the college. Writing 1 will
review the elements of paragraph writing and use this
as a departure point for writing articles, narratives, and
essays of multiple paragraphs.
Listening 1 aims at providing opportunities for the
students to practice listening to the English language in an
as natural environment as possible. In this course students will
develop their abilities to understand both recorded and
unrecorded materials taken from different real life situations.
Taped materials include varieties of speech to help the students
understand important strategies and various forms of
expression and speech. Students are trained to understand
important ideas and supporting details of the taped material
and to develop the ability to differentiate among these ideas.
Students are trained to infer the meaning through study of the
context and to answer written comprehension questions based
on recorded material.
Besides, the course provides several different real
life situations in order for students to use the ability of speaking
to express and exchange ideas properly in daily lives. The
course is student based, focusing on pair work, group work,
classroom discussion and role-playing.
