3. Students will master presenting familiar topics in a smooth, understandable and organized way.
4. Students will work in pairs or small groups and be responsible for leading class discussions on literary texts.
5. Students will research and give individual presentations on relevant issues in the news.
At several points during the semester students will be asked to talk individually with the teacher on a variety of topics.
