英文課程概要
English Course Description

This course will labor on story narratives and structures that help engage students in the languages and processes of story-telling and writing, in addition to the basics in vocabularies, phrases, syntaxes and metaphors, in various types of news reporting, based largely on the Pulitzer Prize award categories, ranging from crime stories to health stories. In appreciation of those classical journalistic works, students can effectively learn of and become familiar with both technical and literary uses of journalistic English in different news settings and areas, further sharpening their senses of English writing, particularly under the English-only class environment that reciprocally strengthens their oral and verbal capabilities.
