Students continue to develop proficiency in speaking, listening, reading, and writing, all with increasing accuracy. Grammatical structures are reviewed and refined, and emphasis is placed on vocabulary development and enrichment. Students draw their language and cultural knowledge from a variety of sources, including newspapers, magazines, recordings from radio and television programs and from literature (fiction and nonfiction), all built around the three major themes: change, groups, and leisure.
