In preparation for the AP Spanish Literature exam in May, the students read, discuss, and write in-depth response papers on the works of five contemporary major Hispanic authors as well as their lives and their contributions to society. Students will take advantage of the school's technological resources such as the Internet and language computer software. All new international students are given an English proficiency exam during orientation. This course offers beginning and intermediate students work on the four skill areas of listening, speaking, reading and writing. We focus intensively on written expression through essays where students learn how to think and express themselves critically and independently.
Students also work on building both their practical and academic vocabulary.
ESL students learn how to use the school's technological resources in the library, the network and the Internet for writing papers and for research. Students also take an in-depth look at the learning processes in their other courses at Peddie. One of the goals of this course is to mainstream the students as soon as possible. All Rights Reserved.
