In this Specialization, you build English skills for academic and professional thinking through vocabulary, reading, video, note-taking, and structured communication. You begin with foundational strategies for engaging with content, then practice identifying main ideas, causes and effects, predictions, inferences, tone, and purpose. Across topics such as art, health, travel, recreation, and famous people, you strengthen how you understand information and express ideas clearly.
Applied Learning Project
You will complete readings, videos, comprehension checks, skill practice, discussion prompts, synthesis quizzes, and evaluation activities that help you apply each concept in context. These activities guide you from organizing notes and identifying ideas to analyzing causes, making predictions, drawing inferences, and discussing tone, purpose, and viewpoints.
