| Course Description |
Course Objective and Description:
Oral Training I is a foundational course designed to develop the spoken English skills of first-year English majors. Through structured practice in pronunciation, intonation, and conversational strategies, students will build confidence and fluency in everyday and academic communication. The course emphasizes active participation in a variety of speaking tasks, including imitations, dialogues, and presentations. Students will also engage in listening activities to model natural speech patterns and improve comprehension. By the end of the course, students are expected to demonstrate improved clarity, coherence, and spontaneity in spoken English. |

Course Requirements:
1. Active class participation.
2. Attendance will be checked every week, since the instructor values students’ attendance very much. Any student who is more than 20 minutes late in joining class will be counted as absent. A missed consulting appointment also counts as an absence from class. If a student is absent from class more than THREE times throughout the semester, with or without sick notice or any other proof, s/he risks being excluded from and failing the course. If a student must miss a class, please notify the instructor by email in advance, and consult our class website for any missed materials. Bear in mind that the instructor is not on email 24/7, so your message may not receive an immediate response. The instructor does not accept text messages or phone calls.
3.Students are expected to be fully prepared to participate when class begins — that is, to have read, listened, practiced, and thought about whatever materials were assigned. Late submission of any assignment won’t be accepted for whatever reason. The instructor considers such lateness extremely disruptive to the class schedule and discussions, and is unfair to the other students who do participate and hand in work on time, so late submission will be penalized by receiving a “0” and will not be read or graded. Please note that homework that is copied from another source (including your classmate) will receive a “0”.
4.No make-up tests and/or exams would be allowed, for whatever reason.
