2.
Due
June 14:
Prepare:
(I) a written evaluation of this semester's
class and
(II) an organized
summary of
your class
notes,
in two separate pdf files:
I.
End-of-semester
evaluation:
Part
1: evaluate
the class,
materials,
teacher,
syllabus,
homework
assignments,
what was most
and least
useful, things
that could be
improved, and
how
¡X everything
about the
class this
semester.
Part
2: Evaluate
yourself:
Attendance and
punctuality,
homework
submission,
how much you
learned from
the class, how
much effort
you put into
this class,
Part
3: How do you
plan
to continue
improving your
English
in general and
your
English
listening and
pronunciation
skills
in particular?
II.
Organized summary of your class notes:
Go
through all
your old
notes, and organize
them into a summary
of main
points.
You do not
have to
include every
single detail
from your
notes; try
rather to
combine
notes that are
about the same
thing and to
generalize.
Format
and
submission
instructions:
Convert your
files to pdf format
before
emailing both
files to Prof.

These are the last articles for this
semester!
But hopefully you will continue reading the
articles on your own ¡V
there's lots more to discover that you may
not see or hear elsewhere!
Make sure to hand in your original and
corrected transcriptions of Ten Things That Scare Me with Samin
Nosrat,
along with a list of errors, their
corrections, and notes on how to avoid similar errors in the
future.
2. Make sure you send the
final summary of your notes and your class evaluation as two
separate pdf files to:
feathermountain@gmail.com by Friday June 14.
3. The final exam will be
next Monday, June 17, at the usual class time, in the same
classroom.
There will probably be both oral and written
components to the exam.
Pay special attention to the content of CET articles: 5, 6, 7, and 8.
4. Finish reading aloud: "The Math Behind Successful Relationships"
The Wall Street Journal, February 8,
2019. MP3
5. Breaktime music: Adam Friedman Be Nice lyrics
Week 17: June 17
1. Make sure ALL your work is
uploaded to your Google Drive folder,
and that you have emailed your summary of class
notes and class evaluation to
feathermountain@gmail.com.
2. Final exam.
Goals of Course:
The main goals of this course are (1)
to teach you how to listen; this will be done mainly by
listening to and imitating audio and video files online; and
(2) to improve your pronunciation.
Listening and pronunciation are
probably the two weakest links in English education in Taiwan
(though even those of you who have been educated in English
abroad may find you have things to learn from this class).
Rather than complain about what you didn't get in the past, we
encourage you to focus on the here and now ¡V there's still
time to fix things. But you must be committed. The things you
learn in this class are not assignments to be completed to
earn a grade and then forgotten. They will require behavior
modification on your part. Anybody knows how hard a habit is
