5. Grading Criteria Attendance and Participation 20% Mid-term Exam 30% Oral Reports 30% Term Paper 20%

6. Notes Classroom LL1 for Weeks 1, 10 and 11 (all students together) PBL classrooms for other weeks Model oral report Based on the reading of Unit 3 (pp.31-32), is given by the professor in Week 3

7. Notes Oral reports Each student has to give oral reports twice during this semester--during Weeks 4-8 and Weeks 13-17. Every class session during these weeks, two students give oral reports – 20 minutes for each reporter and 15-20 minutes for discussion (approximately 80 minutes in total)

8. Notes Oral reports Oral Report (1) The main focus of the first oral reports is the readings of Units 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 and the supplementary readings. Each reporter is supposed to illustrate the meanings of words/phrases, the main idea of the assigned reading, and some issues arising from the reading. Non-reporters have to take turns giving some feedback by raising 2 or 3 questions for further discussion. In response to the questions, each reporter should try to make the connection with the key points of his/her report.

9. Notes Oral reports Oral Report (2) Topics for the second oral reports are related to the themes of Units 8~12. The second oral report is composed of a summary of the reading, an introduction to the term paper with a short outline or abstract of the three cited references.

10. Notes Mid-term Exam Units 1 to 7 (80%) and the supplementary readings ( 20%). Tentative structure: Listening, Vocabulary, Grammar and Sentence structures, and Reading Comprehension

11. Notes Term Paper The term paper is of individual work; yet cooperative efforts in brainstorming are highly recommended. Topics for the term paper are closely relevant to what covered in the second oral reports (i.e. the themes of Units 8~12).

12. Notes Term Paper The length of the term paper is 4-5 pages and typeset in 1.5 spaces, in 12-point Times New Roman, with at least 3 in-text citations and 3 entries listed in works cited. The criteria for grading term papers focus primarily on well-organized structure, coherent argument, convincing supporting details, valid conclusion and effective English expressions.
