This is a one-year four-skill integrated course which helps students to develop fluency in English and equip them with the learning strategies needed for autonomous learning. While more focus are on reading, grammar, and vocabulary in the first semester, students are also encouraged to discuss and write about the ideas they discover in the reading and listening, aiming to develop their critical-thinking, speaking, and writing skills. Class activities include discussion, group activities, and presentation.
