Taught courses cover a broad spectrum of contemporary topics. This course is designed to help learners develop the language skills needed to achieve academic success. Students develop academic literacy skills through content, images and video from National Geographic. The vocabulary development skills and general writing strategies taught in class are the tools to help them achieve. Students also learn to use of complex sentences and clauses while studying different cultures around the world. This does not only stimulate students’ interest in English learning but also help them familiarize with the grammatical and lexical systems of language and improve their contextual knowledge in order to acquire syntactic and semantic competence. The reading materials used in this level are highly engaging and relevant to students’ experiences. The course aims to further reinforce students with essential reading strategies, such as understanding context clues, making inferences, analyzing academic essay structure, and summarizing. Teachers use 50% of English as the language of instruction and encourage critical thinking and interaction in and out of class.
