Based on the MEES EESL Program and the Progression of Learning  

All activities and tasks are built to develop key competencies and skills as specified in the EESL Program and to help students with grammatical accuracy, idiomatic vocabulary, synthesizing texts, deconstructing feature articles and more.  

Comprehensive practice for the final exam  

Evaluation Situations and Final Writing Tasks include feature-article writing, giving students ample preparation for the final exam. 

Engaging themes and project-based learning  

High-interest themes, such as the Power of Social Media, Superheroes and Utopia, motivate both male and female students and provide a great springboard for discussions and projects. Project tasks include producing a radio show podcast, creating a PSA video and publishing a zine.  

Topics and texts that develop critical thinking    

The Synthesis section and deconstruction tasks encourage students to think critically about reading/listening/watching texts and to apply critical thinking in their final writing task. See the unit structure in the left menu, under Excerpt.
