Mondays 5th Period
In this course you will develop your confidence for communicating and expressing your ideas in English. You will also develop your ability to research and explain information clearly and use English to learn about global issues that interest you. In the first semester, you will use English to get to know other students, and talk about your own experiences and easy-to-read books. You will also do out-of-class listening practices to develop your English listening. In the second semester, you will develop your ability to read and make notes about different global issues. You will learn about these issues in 2 or 3 short research projects, where you explain, discuss and present in pairs and small groups. In both semesters, you’ll have many chances to practice speaking English and develop your critical understanding of the world with other students.
