Be active! In this course, you will learn, practice, and use English to communicate clearly and confidently. To be successful, you must arrive to class on time, attend all lessons, bring your textbooks and dictionaries, and actively participate and speak.

Students are required to have regular access to a tablet, iPad, or laptop. Weekly homework is submitted in PowerPoint format via LETUS, and digital access is essential for completing assignments efficiently.
