The objective of this course is to enhance students' fluency in English through activities involving speaking, listening, reading, and writing. The class begins with a speaking warm-up, followed by listening and reading activities, then transitions to group discussions, and concludes with a writing task.

In the first half of the course, students will engage with familiar topics such as Food and Festivals. In the latter half, more thought-provoking topics, such as Gender Identity and Problems of Our Times, will be explored. Writing assignments are to be submitted after each class. During the first half, the writing tasks will range from a few sentences to approximately 50 words, while in the second half, students will be expected to write paragraphs of 150–180 words.
