We will read and listen to text and talk from a variety of Englishes.

We will study the genre of travel writing, and you will create your own travel blogs and vlogs, learning to use online tools for this.
We will delve into the world of advertising, and consider the power of words in general, as well as learn new subject terminology.

RESOURCES
ASSESSMENT
Throughout the course, there will be a number of assignments, tasks and quizzes which serve as learning material in preparation for the final assessment (an individual presentation, a group discussion and a written task), but which can also serve as proof of skills and knowledge. The more active you are in class, the greater your chance is of learning and showing that learning. Only tasks submitted on time will be given feedback.
