AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

core English competencies but need to hone their language abilities in order to deal creatively
as well as competently with the English language. As the Course title indicates it will
supplement the existing syllabi to create a space within the academy for students to hone their
reading and writing skills in a graded manner to include advanced applied skills like creative
writing, the writing of book and film reviews, and writing for the internet. Computer skills also
will need to be addressed which is now a very important aspect of modern day life skills.
The techniques of instruction will require the course material to be supplemented by a learner
centred classroom, the use of modern technical aids like computers, power points, internet
and movies. Teachers are encouraged to develop supplementary teaching methods.
