Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: To improve the students' basic English abilities.
Course Content: This course is a follow-up to ENG111 and it is also conducted online. Since this course is designed as a follow-up, it aims to help students develop their existing language skills in four basic areas. While students will continue to learn new grammar topics, they will enhance their skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking. At the end of this course, students will be able to give directions, describe people and pictures, make comparisons, and talk about present and future.
