Course Description:  This course is an introduction to academic listening and speaking. You will work on speaking activities and some presentations with vocabulary and grammar similar to that in ESL 120. Because this class meets only 3 hours a week, you will do some of your homework in CLAD (Multiuse Building)  and some simple listening assignments on a computer.  You will be expected to do homework every week.  There will be oral assignments and written assignments. There will be quizzes based on material from the book.

The following percentages will be used to calculate your grades:

¥ Written homework                                                              30%

¥ Oral homework                                                                    35%               

¥ Quizzes and tests                                                               35%                                       

Your final grade will be calculated with the same percentages, although the work done before the midterm and after the midterm will be calculated as follows:

¥ Midterm                                                                               25%

¥ After the midterm                                                                75%

Note:  This class may be taken for a credit/no credit grade rather than for a letter grade.

You are allowed to "throw out" one grade before the midterm and one "throw out" grade between the midterm and final.

Exceptions:  You can not throw out any midterm or final test grades. 

Save all tests and graded homework.  Make a copy of any assignment before giving it to me.

Attendance: If a student is absent from more than six classes, the instructor has the right to drop him from the class or lower his final grade.  Two lates=one absence  If you are absent, contact another student to get the assignment.  You are responsible for all work and information that you missed. 

There are no make-ups on quizzes, or tests.
