Listening and Speaking B Syllabus:
These are the syllabi I designed for Listening and Speaking A and B. At my host's encouragement, I introduced western ideas like balanced and varied assessments, rather than simply the mid-term and final exam; public speaking opportunities; and activities that would engage students in the skills we want them to master (listening and speaking), rather than focusing too much on teacher-centered techniques.
While good in theory, adjustments will need to be made during the semester. For example, I have postponed the beginning of article presentations for Level A, as I continue to assess how much vocabulary and grammar students have to support speech.
