In this course, students will learn how to improve their reading, listening, speaking and critical thinking skills. We will accomplish this by reading about current topics and class discussion.

To communicate well with others, you need to have the confidence to use English to express your opinions.  So students will be challeged to answer the following questions each lesson.  What do we believe? What is important to us? And discuss our opinions in English.

I aim to (a) help the students improve their reading abilities、(b) focus on reading and understanding through context and NOT through depending on a dictionary、(c) use the topics to engage in thoughtful discussions and debates、and (d) improve students' speed not only in reading、but in speaking.
