Our language study categories represent four broad areas of knowledge and skills: Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing. These four categories are interrelated, reflecting the wholeness and interconnectedness of learning to be proficient in any language, including English. We shall now focus not only on building your knowledge of Canadian culture, history, and traditions, but also on your development of the skills of thinking, communication, and application.
