Course contents : This course continues the development of reading, data gathering, and note-taking using texts or sets of texts (as started in the English Level A course). It also focuses on research and report-writing capacities, oral understanding and presentation skills.
Course objective : The purpose of this course is threefold:

  • allow students to follow short oral presentations in English and take accurate notes of them.
  • allow students to present scientific information in correct and consistent English.
