Outline

This course aims to develop second-year students’ reading skills, enabling them to read more advanced English texts. Students are given the opportunity to choose the genre of their reading materials among a

The English Reading courses are divided into three groups. Students are requested to submit their preferred choice from among the groups before registration.

English Reading (A): Science and Technology In ER (A), students read articles relating to issues in science and technology.

English Reading (B): Global News In ER (B), students read about topics relating to worldwide issues through a variety of news media.

English Reading (C): Culture and Society In ER (C), students read articles focusing upon various aspects of culture and society.
