課程概述 |
This course is designed to develop students’ English ability in various aspects of communication skills – reading, speaking & writing – needed for research. These skills can be divided into informal and formal settings. Skills for informal setting include: email communication, chatting with researchers during a conference, short technical talk etc. Skills for formal setting include: Powerpoint presentation, and writing skills for manuscript towards journal publication. |
課程目標 |
This class will be conducted in various formats – lecture, individual help, small group discussion, and presentation – designed to ensure maximum learning of the material. Since each student is in a various stage of development in the skills described, equal emphasize will be placed on an individual’s progress as well as towards a “set standard.” |
課程要求 |
Students taking the course must have at least intermediate level of English ability. The reason for the prerequisite is that technical communication requires basic English skills. |
