This class is based on a Reading Circle Model. The students read one short story per week and fill out one A4 work sheet in English reflecting on that story. They then come to class and discuss the story in small groups with four to five members. The teacher leads in developing strong groups for speaking, discussion and presentation, while facilitating and monitoring the practice of speaking English. We will be speaking English in every class.

Students will be expected to 1)read one short chapter of the textbook per week (8-10 pages). fill in the activities at the end of each chapter (Word Focus. Story Focus 1 and 2). and fill out a Reading Circle Role Sheet--1 A4 Sheet about your reaction to the story. Homework study for this class, for regular students, will take at least 1-2 hours on a normal week and may take up 3-4 hours on a special occasion before a presentation or an exam.
