This course aims to develop students' general English proficiency at the B2 level, with an emphasis on improving reading and writing skills. Approximately 50% of the course content is related to academic contexts. The aim of this course is to enhance students' English reading abilities and develop students’ ability to write well-developed paragraphs. Students will read a variety of text styles with enhanced fluency following coherent and effective use of reading strategies. Students will also actively engage in extensive reading with a critical perspective. For writing, students will build their paragraph writing skills and eventually learn the ability to write essays. By the end of the course, students will learn to: - build vocabulary for reading and writing - read carefully to understand text - take and organize notes for different reading and writing tasks - outline writing tasks - summarize, paraphrase, and respond to reading materials in well-structured writing and clear arguments - express ideas in clear and coherent English, using a range of vocabulary, accurate grammar, effective transitions, and varied sentence structures that demonstrate an appropriate and consistent style for the given context and audience.
