The aim of this course is to enhance in students the critical thinking skills necessary to succeed in their undergraduate studies. It will focus on synthesizing statements and arguments. This course will facilitate all four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing in an integrated approach to promote the use of spoken and written English in an academic context.
