C. Course Description:
An intermediate level course of listening and speaking skills, CEFR B1-B2 teaches the second level of the
three-level English language skills and academic literacy. Students will further develop their language
competence to successfully comprehend academic interaction contexts such as case studies, group discussion
and presentation, problem-solution scenarios.
Listening practices for main ideas and details (such as listening to lectures, guest speaker’s talks or radio
interviews, and presentations) emerge where students will learn how to use vocabulary and language
expressions in real contexts. Students will also sharpen their critical thinking skills, through inferences,
drawing conclusions, relating content to personal experience, evaluating options, supporting arguments, among
others.

I. Academic Integrity
Academic integrity is a fundamental value in all matters of academic life. To ensure the maintenance of
academic integrity at Hoa Sen University, students are required to:
1. Work independently on individual assignments
Collaborating on individual assignments is considered cheating.
2. Avoid plagiarism
Plagiarism is an act of fraud that involves the use of ideas or words of another person without proper
attribution. Students will be considered to have plagiarised if:
i.Texts are directly copied without quotation and citation
ii. Paraphrased and/or translated text is copied without appropriate referencing.
3. Submit original work for all assignments
Resubmission of a writing task which has been used for a previous course is considered to be an act of
academic dishonesty which is as serious as plagiarism.
4. Work responsibly within a working group
Page 7 of 17
In cooperative group assignments, all students are required to stay on task and contribute equally to the
projects. Group reports should clearly state the contribution of each group member.
5. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools
Students may incorporate generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools, such as ChatGPT, into their
learning process, except where otherwise noted. However, utilizing content generated by an AI tool
without appropriate attributions constitutes plagiarism. All submitted work must accurately reflect their
own efforts.
The reference and in-text citations:
- OpenAI. (2023). ChatGPT (Mar 14 version) [Large language model]. https://chat.openai.com/chat
- Parenthetical citation: (OpenAI, 2023)
- Narrative citation: OpenAI (2023)
Any act of academic dishonesty will result in a grade of zero for the task at hand and/or immediate failure
of the course, depending on the seriousness of the ethical breach. Please consult the Hoa Sen University
Policy on Plagiarism at http://thuvien.hoasen.edu.vn/chinh-sach-phong-tranh-dao-van. To ensure the
maintenance of academic integrity, the university asks that students report cases of academic dishonesty to
the teacher and/or the Dean. The names of those students who make reports will be kept anonymous.
