This course provides students with the skills and strategies they need to make the
transition to college and university preparation courses in English and other secondary
school disciplines. Students will be encouraged to develop independence in a range of
academic tasks. They will participate in debates and lead classroom workshops; read
and interpret literary works and academic texts; write essays, narratives, and reports;
and apply a range of learning strategies and research skills effectively. Students will
further develop their ability to respond critically to print and media texts.
