Reading and Writing
Reading and writing are closely linked in AEP classes, just as they are in a
university setting. You will read research articles from academic textbooks, as
well as interesting material from newspapers and magazines. Explore the
structure of these articles, analyze their arguments, and share your opinions
with fellow classmates and your teacher. Check your understanding of the
articles with reading comprehension and vocabulary activities. |

The writing process begins when you brainstorm topics and plan
your writing, including how to form strong thesis statements and
supporting paragraphs. Also analyze the mechanics of writing, such
as grammar and punctuation. Step-by-step models help you master
a variety of academic essay styles, such as descriptive, analytical,
comparative, and persuasive essays. You will develop self-editing
skills to become a fully independent writer. |

Listening and Speaking
AEP classes blend listening and speaking skills to prepare you for
academic and social life in western universities. Each unit includes several
types of listening activities, including video and audio lectures written by
university professors. Authentic radio programs and social conversations
between students explore the unit topic in more detail. Structured outlines
assist you in building strong note-taking skills, and activities teach you how
to refer to these notes to answer questions and review for a test. |

Listening activities are also supported by frequent classroom discussions, as well as prediction,
comprehension and vocabulary activities. Structured speaking activities help you to check your understanding
and develop skills you will need for the classroom and around campus. At the conclusion of each unit, you will
prepare and make short presentations on the unit topic. |
