The program encourages students to tailor their English learning to their specific needs and interests by offering four semester-based modules: Career and Profession, Daily Communication, Multiculturalism, and Self-Expression Skills. Additionally, within each of the four modules, there are different themes, or topics, around which each course‘s curriculum is built. Each SENM student must choose two different module courses in one academic year according to their interests and needs. The program’s small class size (no more than 25 students) means that a variety of class activities such as discussions, role plays, and presentations are an integral part of the program.

"Soul English" is a modular course centered on learners. In response to students' personal learning interests and professional needs, four major module courses are established, namely "career and professional", "daily communication", "multi-cultural" and "self-expression skills". The four major modules are constructed from courses with common core goals but covering different topics. All courses are based on the school period. Students must choose two different module courses in the upper and lower school periods according to their respective interests and needs. This course will be interactively taught in a 25-person small class system, combining discussion, performance and work and other learning activities, so that students can specifically enhance their English communication skills in a more diverse and independent learning environment.

Due to the emergence of the era of globalization and the integration of diverse contexts into the new trend of English learning, it guides students to experience different cultural phenomena in the process of learning English, cultivate a world view from a diverse perspective, and then complete the basic cultivation of becoming a world citizen.
