In this class, students are expected to direct their own learning. This means you will choose your topics, research the ideas, and decide in what ways you will present the information in your groups.
Students are expected to research topics on current world issues and trends and discuss these issues in class. Doing so will give you a better understanding of the world, culture, and language. This will allow you to develop an understanding and opinion related to these issues as a basis of their projects and to be able to communicate them effectively in English.
