My goals for taking this course are:

1.        English listening skill is one of the most essential skills for advanced learners who want to get improved in English. To be progress in this skill relies on regular practice and learners should find helpful way to practice. Practicing through modern media, like internet, would very much help learners to practice by listening English native speakers talks.

2.        To be improved in English speaking skill is obviously my second goal. As we know non-English native speakers like Thai people hardly talk with foreigners in daily life, except those who usually work with English native speakers. It is luckily that nowadays we are in globalization era and it seems that everything in our life is possible and easy to access high technology. We don’t need to

3.        English Writing skill is one of important skill that I need to use on a regular basis; reading emails, letters and legal document for my work. I set a goal to be more improve in this skill by taking less time when reading a difficult passage.  

4.        Last but not least, the skill that I really want to be improved is English reading skill as it is significant to my career. I need to read incoming email from my German boss and clients. I always have to read English email message, letter and fax that related to law field. This will not be varied. We need to read the message from many sources and fields such as science, IT, politics, economy, etc. So the media that we can easily access now would be the most advantage for English advanced learner to practice and improve in their reading skill. I am the one of those people who want to enhance my English reading skill. 

5.      In my view, this course would extremely encourage and motivate the students to use modern media and IT sources
