Why do we learn English?
Students learn to appreciate a viewpoint and way of framing an idea whilst critiquing and challenging both the ideas and the way in which they are communicated. This approach develops their ability to think imaginatively, widening their horizons, exposing them to new perspectives and fostering their cultural sensitivity and empathy.
Students are taught the skills and knowledge needed to use the written word to communicate in the real world with clarity and conviction.
