English I Bcis New Course
Course Description
This course comprises all aspects of the English language including speaking, pronunciation,
listening, reading and writing. The focus is on improving the students to communicate clearly
and effectively. The syllabus for the lessons is based on the course books, but the teacher will
also use lots of other materials, including suggestions from students so the content of the class
can be more useful and interesting. Students are expected to participate as much as possible, but
they will work individually, in pairs and groups as well as the whole class. The teacher will
correct their spoken and written errors so that they become more accurate and they will progress
quickly.
