Sequence 1: Prerequisites

A good knowledge of the English language is compulsory in this course. Before attending this class, a general revision of the English grammar and writing is required from the student. The course targets the learner's ability to read, analyze, and extract meanings from a text. 

A minimum of 20 minute reading is required from the learner in each lecture. The learner needs to read a text twice. The first reading serves the learner to discover the text, the second reading allows this latter to extract meanings and to reflect on the general goal of the author/speaker.

A set of questions are asked to the learner for the sake of triggering their reflective thinking. The learner answers the questions then develops his or her own conclusions. 

The learner shows understanding of the text through a series of tasks done by the end of the session that are submitted to the teacher after each class.
