Winter Session II
Social Media is an English language exchange, class, and interactive trivia game designed for non-native English speakers. English trivia is usually very difficult for non-native speakers because it relies heavily on obscure cultural references. Social Media is different.
Each week we cover one topic in great detail. The trivia game is built into the topic powerpoint. If the topic is music, we won’t answer trivia questions like “Who wrote the song ‘Turn the Page’?”. This is too specific. Instead, we use English to make an educated guess about numbers, in a multiple choice style question. “How many songs are in the average rock album?” or “How many violins are in the average orchestra?” We can use what we learn to guess these answers correctly. Previous knowledge about the topic is not necessary. We only ask that you have intermediate English speaking and listening ability.
你將有機會練習英文口語表達能力，
同時與來自不同背景的夥伴們，一起進行討論！
歡迎帶著輕鬆愉快的心情，在開放式的教學環境，以英文分享自己的想法💡
保證讓您收穫滿滿~
