English Language Arts

English courses focus on developing students' reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. These courses are designed to help students engage with a wide variety of texts, including novels, short stories, poems, and informational texts, while also improving their ability to express ideas clearly and effectively. English courses emphasize grammar, vocabulary development, and writing techniques. Students practice composing essays, creative writing, and research papers, with a focus on structure, clarity, and argumentation. Critical thinking skills are encouraged through discussions and analysis of literary themes, character development, and the author's purpose.
