The emphasis of the English program is REACH which stands for Responsibility, Environment, Awareness, Collaboration, and Humanitarianism. The English Stream is to prepare students to be aware of differing cultures, to become more responsible and collaborative with others through using English. The goal of this stream is to prepare students to use English in social and working environments. The aim of Study Skills 22 is to focus and polish listening comprehension in English in an academic environment. Many different types of listening strategies will be taught such as content words and function words, skimming, scanning, note-taking, discourse markers whilst listening to various topics in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences. Within activities, students will be required to state opinions, ask questions, and explain reasons in English. You are supposed to prepare for each class, submit assignments, and take quizzes and exams in accordance with your teacher’s instruction. Your teacher will provide feedback in the physical classroom, on manaba+R, or other methods depending on the activity.
