Students learn academic writing structures and techniques to enable them to successfully write logical, well considered essays about relevant global issues in English. We focus on the five-paragraph essay format which includes: the introductory paragraph, three body paragraphs and a concluding paragraph. Special attention is given to writing convincing thesis statements and research questions. Students are also introduced to public speaking and learn how to suitably address groups, and to logically structure presentations in line with their research topics for their essay writing. Subject to approval, students choose their own topics: the only stipulation is that all topics must have some connection to relevant global issues and specific reference must be made the United Nation’s Sustainable Developments Goals.

Content can include:
• New technologies & concepts
• New and improved Products
• Examples of bad and good practices and processes
• Societal problems.
• Global and Domestic Issues

This class is suitable for students who are preparing to enter corporate life after graduation. Students will be introduced to various important aspects of organizations and up-to-date, relevant business issues. In addition, there are ample opportunities to exercise critical thinking by doing case studies in small groups. Although this class falls under writing class category, students will be able to improve reading, speaking, and presenting skills as well. Each class consists of knowledge building through lecture and reading, discussion for case studies, and presentation of the solutions.

Students learn how to use listening techniques in order to improve understanding of spoken English and we concentrate on preparation for “real life situations”. Students learn to how to focus on extracting specific information and details, as well as general meaning. At the end of the course, they will understand more fully what interpretation is and therefore be able to distinguish and respond to a speaker's attitude, intent and opinion. This course is best suited for students who are comfortable taking instruction and participating in class in English, and who want to become more confident in their ability to communicate and openly share their opinions.
