<h3>Why the USA?</h3>
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.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h3>The purpose is for you to get a chance to develop your ability to:</h3>
- read English texts and listen to spoken English.
- speak and write English.
- reflect on culture in areas where English is used.
<h3>&nbsp;</h3>
<h3>During the lessons</h3>
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. In addition, we will look at differences between American and English/British English. At the end there will be a writing assignment.
To be able to see the films that we will be using, you need to create an account on <a href="https://sli.se" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://sli.se</a>.
