By completion of this course, students are expected to acquire oral skills to conduct fluently with correctness for narrations and discussions for concrete contents and abstract ideas on academic topics or special topics about society, culture, or technology. On top of that, they are expected to be able to understand without major difficulties the authentic resources in public broadcasting or video and be able to read and write without difficulties in Cantonese characters for authentic written resources.
