This course is a competence-oriented listening and speaking course for second-year undergraduate students. It aims to help students improve clarity, coherence, and effectiveness in spoken English based on their language foundation. Rather than focusing on speaking length, the course emphasizes quality of expression and supports students in gradually extending spoken output through clear organization and focused idea development.

Built on textbook themes and real-life communication contexts, the course adopts a blended learning approach integrating instructional videos, listening and speaking tasks, classroom interaction, and reflection. Students are guided to develop a clear thinking path for spoken communication, reduce speaking anxiety, and gain confidence in expressing ideas.

The speaking skills developed in this course can be applied to classroom discussions, everyday communication, and spoken English assessment contexts, providing a solid foundation for further use.
