Course Objective
This year-long course integrates the four key language skills to help students become more proficient and confident readers. While the primary focus is on academic reading and vocabulary development, the course also encourages students to actively discuss and write about the ideas they encounter in their readings.

The goal is to enhance students’ English proficiency, enabling them to become stronger readers, speakers, listeners and writers. To achieve this, the course incorporates a variety of activities, including listening practice, discussions, collaborative group tasks, and presentations.
