We will have a "cameras ON" policy for this class.

The overall objectives of the course are for students to improve their English proficiency skills while improving their scores and understanding of TOEFL. All four skills of the test will be covered but more time will be spent developing the productive skills (speaking and writing). We will study the assessment criteria and look at ways to increase scores in each skill.

Speaking: Students will learn how to develop their responses on both the independent and integrated tasks of the speaking section.

Writing: Students will learn how to write effective analytical answers for the integrated task and opinion essays for the independent task.

Reading: Learning to read texts and answer questions TOEFL-style while also reading for general comprehension.

Listening: Improving general listening skills while becoming familiar with the TOEFL listening question format.

Teacher Message:

Attendance is essential for a communicative course. Preparation, attendance, and participation are seriously considered in assigning final grades.

Communication / skills classes require strict attendance in order to progress in language development. Students are allowed a maximum of 3 absences. More than that will result in a fail grade. Homework preparation should be completed well before each class in order to understand the vocabulary and contents of the course.

Courses are taught in English. Students need to be prepared to speak in English during each class. Students should expect 1.5 hours or more of homework and study time a week outside class.

If you miss a class or if you want to review the class content, the lecture notes, assignments and homework will be posted on the SFC-SFS course web page.
