English 6 builds upon the concepts and approach of English 5: mutual support, respect and critical thinking.
As with English 5, we will often start the lesson with a discussion of the day’s topic followed by listening to a news story from the U.S.A. This approach will allow us to gain a better understanding of international perspectives and also to compare them with our own countries’.
After this, we will critically explore the issue. You will be asked to produce a short piece of work based upon the class’s topic - for example a short presentation, a summary or reaction paper. Such integrated skills will also come in useful for the TOEFL exam.
Again, may I take this opportunity to remind you: This is not a lecture-style course. Please envisage this classroom as a community where everybody has different strengths and weaknesses. By cooperating with each other, together we can overcome any difficulties.
