[The Magic of Fixed Expressions]
This 2-credit semester-long course is designed for students who would like to enhance their daily oral English proficiency. The instructor capitalizes on the massive use of a wide variety of fixed expressions in English to achieve this teaching goal. In this course, English fixed expressions are viewed in a broad sense, including contractions, clipped words, acronyms, phrasal verbs, similes, metaphors, clichés (proverbs & sayings), and slang. To allow students to make the most of fixed expressions in their English oral production, the instructor also incorporates communication skills and strategies into teaching. Basically, class materials will be covered through an integration of teacher-controlled guidance and student-centered practice in individual and interactive activities in an organized, systematic way. Hopefully, students will understand, integrate, apply, and internalize what they have learned in class and equip themselves with the ability to speak in English in a more native-like fashion.[The magic of English films]
This 2-Study course is designed for students who want to improve their daily English speaking skills. The teaching teachers use a large number of English films to achieve this teaching goal. English films cover a wide range of categories in this course, including cut-off words, typographical words, verb films, similes, metaphors, traditional vocabulary (motto and common words), slang and other categories. In order to enable students to fully use films in their oral expressions, the teaching teachers also incorporate communication skills and strategies into their teaching. Basically, the course textbook professors use an organized and systematic approach to combine guided explanations controlled by teachers and personal and interactive training activities focused on students. I hope that students can understand, integrate, apply, and internalize what they learn in the classroom, and then develop more authentic English speaking skills.

The SENM program is a student-centered module-based program which offers students choices and small, interactive classes. The program encourages students to tailor their English learning to their specific needs and interests by offering four semester-based modules: Career and Profession, Daily Communication, Multiculturalism, and Self-Expression Skills.

Each SENM student must choose two different module courses in one academic year according to their interests and needs. The program’s small class size (no more than 25 students) means that a variety of class activities such as discussions, role plays, and presentations are an integral part of the program.

"Soul English" is a modular course centered on learners. In response to students' personal learning interests and professional needs, four major module courses are established, namely "career and professional", "daily communication", "multi-cultural" and "self-expression skills". The four major modules are constructed from courses with common core goals but covering different topics. All courses are based on the school period. Students must choose two different module courses in the upper and lower school periods according to their respective interests and needs. This course will be interactively taught in a 25-person small class system, combining discussion, performance and work and other learning activities, so that students can specifically enhance their English communication skills in a more diverse and independent learning environment.
This course belongs to the "Daily Communication" module, which emphasizes the connection between English learning and real life, and allows students to apply what they have learned to their daily lives through various dialogue examples and practices.
