The purpose of English is to experience hands-on the beauty of language, and to understand the spirit, creativity and utility that makes a language great, and to make that spirit and creativity an advantage to you when you use the language—whether for art’s sake or for practical applications. Mastery Learning principles, interactive technologies and a dialectic teaching approach make this class your chance to build a foundation of language skills, take time to hone strategies for practice writing and to engage in a unique book report format that allows you to pursue your syntopical reading interests.
