    Description
    Students will focus on writing essays that exhibit the depth and complexity of low-advanced language level academic texts.

Students will also continue to improve skills in academic and extensive reading, critical thinking, and vocabulary acquisition. Reading materials will highlight current issues and topics of interest across cultures including articles, essays, and literary works.
