The course also concentrates on semantics and organizational and critical thinking skills. Learning techniques may include, but are not limited to, individual student analysis of words and cooperative learning. Students will write stories and essays and will create a variety of vocabulary-oriented projects meant to boost word acquisition and deepen word comprehension. In order to increase their exposure to academic vocabulary, students will read sophisticated fictional and nonfictional texts.
