Please make sure that you have fulfilled the university's requirements or       

rules for registering for this course.                                          

                                                                                

Because the 'Academic English Intermediate' courses are to emphasize reading    

and writing, this course will focus on reading an illustrated book about        

contemporary America and writing short essays (around 250-300 words) about      

assigned contents.  A schedule specifying the reading material for each week    

will be handed out in the first class meeting, and the assigned essays will     

have to be handed in at the beginning of each lesson for which they are         

assigned.  In-class activities are likely to include quizzes to check for       

comprehension, group work, and explanations of chapter content by the           

teacher.  Please be aware that besides the reading and writing activities       

which will be assigned specifically for this course, students will be           

required to do 'out-of-class study' connected to the English department's       

e-learning program as well as to prepare for the TOEFL-ITP and Criterion exams. 

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

In the part of the course for which the teacher has responsibility, 50%         

of the grade will be based on the essays and 50% on in-class activities.        

That's half of the grade for the course.                                        

Information about the textbook was not available at the time of syllabus        

preparation, but it will be an illustrated version of a similar book            

dealing with 'multiculturalism' in the United States.                           

At least one standard dictionary which helps you to work with the English       

language.
