This is a self-directed thematic literature course for English 2 and English 3. A course where you are in charge of your learning. Within the first weeks of the year, you will select your individual course theme and choose your own texts, novels and films to study. You will get to select your own standards and gain 17+ UE credits at L2 and/or L3 English. Your English teachers in this course will provide guidance, small group sessions and frequent feedback.
