OBJECTIVE
This course provides college students a chance to revisit the progress of their English learning and renew their learning strategies. At the end, via trouble- shooting activities and series of practicing, students can rebuild their confidence in language. In addition to proficiency in English, students can be more sensitive to their own language and culture with the contrast of Western language and cultures that are introduced and discussed in this course.
