This course, through authentic materials (e.g., English newspapers and magazines), aims to provide students with exposure to real-life English language and authentic cultural information. By reading and discussing political, technological, economic and entertainment news in pairs, small groups, whole-class settings, and online group discussions, students will have more connections to the content of news. With more connections to the content of news, students will be supported to deepen their understanding of news and enhance their English language proficiency, including listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English.
