Reading Critically & Building Vocabulary
This consists of weekly one-hour sessions. Students will be assigned weekly readings, which will be thoroughly discussed in class. They will also learn to analyze how writers effectively communicate their ideas, and model after them. Students are expected to write reflection papers based on what they read. Vocabulary building will be based on words drawn from the readings.

Creative Writing

To stir their imagination, students will be given interesting and sometimes challenging writing assignments. They will also learn to revise their work after receiving feedback from the instructor.
 

Conversational English
