Important Notes:
In the Listening/Speaking class, students must bring a new book (not someone elses
book, not one with the answers filled in before class) to class every week. The success of
improving students listening and speaking abilities depends on students having to use

and react to the language. Therefore, students must do the work themselves, not just
have the right answer.
If students are confused about something in class, they should ask the teacher to help
them, not their friend. Students learn classroom language for this reason.
Thammasat University strongly discourages plagiarism, i.e. an act of copying someones
ideas or work and presenting them as if they were yours, without referring to the
original sources or authors. Therefore, any (Speaking & Writing) assignment that is
considered (partially or entirely) plagiarized will be given a score of zero.
