Outline and objectives

English 3 builds upon skills and knowledge gained from English 1 and 2 and aims to provide students with further opportunities to think critically and express their opinions on a variety of topics in English.
Students will learn about aspects of culture and society across cultures with Japan at the centre, exchanging ideas and opinions while building their communication skills in all aspects.

Goal

Students will read, write hear and speak about topics relevant to their lives, studies and futures. The main sources will be in British English, but cultures across the world - not only Anglophone - will be included in the sources used.
