課程概述

Reading to Connect (2) aims to develop skills that enable students to critically examine social and global issues through reading themes related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The course will address topics ranging from poverty, gender equality, human rights, to climate actions. Through a variety of reading assignments, practice and activities, students will read and analyze diverse English texts, such as news articles, academic articles, opinions and commentaries, improving their comprehension, vocabulary, and critical reflection.

All the activities and group projects are intended to foster students’ metacognitive awareness of reading and analytical skills. On completion of this course, students will not only develop effective reading skills, but more importantly, grow as proficient and critical readers, while also gaining a better awareness of global issues.
