Advanced English students will continue to improve their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills through the exploration of selected themes of American culture and history. Students will use technology to prepare and give presentations related to chosen topics of American culture and history. Service learning is conducted at local destinations to better understand culture within these places and increase students’ sense of global citizenship. Students will take a leadership role in the planning and carrying out of these service learning trips. Field trips focused on American culture and history are frequently taken to give students practical exposure and experience. Students are required to participate in at least one club for full involvement and integration into campus life. At times, guest speakers visit the classroom to shed light on any given topic related to the American culture or history topic being studied.
