This course teaches students with the necessary language and communicative skills needed to develop the English proficiency. The learning activities for each lesson will give students the opportunities to practice the four language skills, including reading, listening, speaking and writing.

By the end of this course, students should be able to identify the main points and concepts when reading the passages in the books, grasp the general meaning while listening to the instructional talk, ask and answer the questions using proper sentences, write the exercises using complete sentences, and apply learned vocabularies in the daily life context.
