Welcome! I am looking forward to a great semester with you. My goal is to help you develop English language skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing for everyday and academic purposes. At the end of this semester, you will be more confident in your English language skills.
Course Description:
This course provides students with the skills and strategies they need to make the transition to college and university preparation courses in English and other secondary school disciplines.
