In Global Issues A, students will be introduced to various topics on social issues in the news media. In this course, students will improve the four skills of Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking by discussing topics that are recognized and shared throughout the world. This class will be taught in the medium of English.

You will read, listen to, or watch video about important topics. These topics will be the basis of what you speak or write. You will become more aware of some of the challenges faced by people in the world and apply what you have read or watched in guided discussion with classmates. The main objective in Global Issues A is for you to gain knowledge about the issues upon which human society depends. You will gain a foundation in media literacy.

By the end of this class you will have furthered your ability to:
1) approach what you read or view with a critical attitude
