This is a spoken English language course. The major learning objective of this course is to enhance the spoken English proficiency of undergraduate students to support their participation in international studies (e.g., the ZJU-UIUC study abroad program). A broader objective is to improve students’ success in standardized assessments required for participation in overseas study. This course focuses on developing spoken communicative competence and awareness of successful strategies for clear meaning making.
