The USA

We're going to work with a country where they speak English: the USA.

Why the USA?

In English class you need to be able to reflect on the way of life in areas where English is spoken. The USA is a country that influences and affects many countries in the world. It is a country that has been both praised and criticized in, for example, areas of politics and culture. That makes it a country important to learn more about and discuss. We are going to look at different areas of life, as well as facts, important places and history. We will read, listen, discuss/present and write. We will also work with words and grammar. At the end there will be a writing assignment that you will hand in using Unikum.
