The course aims to develop the overall skills in the use of the English language. Especially it aims to:

  • Revise and consolidate on what the students have already learned in their +2 or higher secondary course;
  • Develop and extend their knowledge further;
  • Develop their reading, listening, and writing skills;
  • Orient them towards creative writing;
  • Polish students “problem areas” of English grammar;
  • Develop their vocabulary skills; and
  • Develop the knowledge, skills, and practice of functional language needed in different situations.

The method of teaching should be student-centred and activity-oriented with fully practical. Extensive use of audiovisuals and workbooks should be made by the teachers.
