This course is designed to develop students' ability to read critically, analyze texts, evaluate arguments, and communicate ideas effectively through writing.
Throughout the course, students will develop practical skills in understanding reading passages, identifying an author's purpose and audience, recognising point of view and tone, making inferences, evaluating arguments, paraphrasing, summarising and producing persuasive and issue-based writing.
Students will receive opportunities for practice, discussion, assignments, quizzes, and feedback throughout the semester.
