/Course outline and weekly schedule(up to 2,000 letters)
The first half hour of the class will be spent doing extensive reading, where you will be reading a lot of books in easy English.

You will work with the textbook the rest of the class time. You will again spend much time reading, as the ability to write is dependent on the knowledge garnered from reading. In each class you will practice summary writing and writing to make an argument.

Also done every week are vocabulary quizzes and 5-minute quick writes.
