本課程幫助學生瞭解托福寫作的規則、評分規定、技巧,並讓學生實地練習。藉由英文寫作的構想、修正、潤飾和課程中的討論、示範,以及老師對於學生英文寫作的回饋,進而改正學生的中式英文,修正語意不清和文法錯誤,讓學生的托福寫作更為精進。

  • 課程包含講授、討論與批改。講授部分同時以英文進行。討論、批改部分則以中文為主,英文為輔。會依照學生需求而調整。
  • 回家托福寫作練習(預計回家練習4次。練習次數依照上課適度調整)。學生於下一次上課日期的前1天將作業上傳雲端,並請於第五次一對一諮詢時,自行選擇一篇托福獨立寫作放在雲端上。其他細節待上課名單確定後,將於課堂上及email另行說明。

This course helps students understand the rubrics of TOEFL writing, guidelines, tactics, and common mistakes Taiwanese students often make. The instructor will introduce the writing framework, concept, and pinpoint students’ mistakes. Students will brainstorm, discuss, revise, and rewrite their writings to be more consciously aware of their own writing output.

Course Language: This course will include lecturers, discussions, and comments and correction on students’ writings.

The instructor will be mainly speaking English and very little Chinese. The subtitles on the slides will be English while there will also be some Chinese characters to make students understand better. For the discussion and correction part, the teacher will mainly speak Chinese and some English. However, the instructor will adjust the proportion of the usage of the language according to the students’ needs.

※Homework: There are homework 1-4, but students do not have to write every one of them. Students will upload their homework to the Google Drive 1 day before the next class starts. The instructor will announce details and email students clear instructions after the class starts.
