Course Description This course is designed to provide students with a continuing opportunity to develop fluency and accuracy in English through interactions with a variety of themes that are up-to-date, and varied in tone of ideas and issues of wide concern. As they become actively engaged in discussing or writing about the topics presented in reading passages or listening exercises, students will be able to develop their ability to think critically, to express their own opinions more freely in English, and to organize their own opinions so that they can be clearly expressed either in oral presentations or written compositions.
