進階英文寫作講義(1-1)
這是安老師在甲子林語言認證中心教授[進階英文寫作]的講義大綱。本講義為安老師依學生程度編寫,學生學習目標是多益(TOEIC)證照、托福考試(TOFEL)及全民英檢。本課程每階段八週每週兩小時(兩個月),翻譯部分於上課時練習並講解修改。寫作部分寫完後由老師帶回批改並在下次上課時講解。本講義有影音媒體配合大綱作講解,有興趣讀者可來信洽詢。不斷的寫作及請老師修改是學習英文寫作的最好方法。每週一次的寫作練習需老師修改者,請函索英文寫作批改辦法。

[緣起]
正確的語文學習應該是聽、書、讀、寫四者全方位的學習,但是因為除托福 (TOFEL) 之外,多益 (TOEIC) 證照及全民英檢考試都不考寫作,英文寫作長期以來被學習者忽略。美國及台灣的英文能力鑑定考試單位覺察到這個缺失,2007年中期多益將加考英文作文,全民英檢除加考英文寫作之外,同時加考中英文翻譯。
