English 2: Communication Arts 2 (Sagucio)

English 2 builds upon students’ communication skills developed from the previous level. It aims to further improve their competence in five macro-skills, including critical reading, analytical thinking, and effective communication, in preparation for their academic pursuits. It aims to cultivate students’ ability to engage thoughtfully with texts and express their ideas, encompassing the analysis of literary techniques, mastery of grammar and diverse writing styles, and interpretation of varied non-literary and literary forms and media from various cultural traditions. This exposure intends to promote appreciation for diverse cultures, as well as respect for and tolerance of cultural uniqueness and diversity, achieved through activities such as close reading, class discussions, various writing tasks, analytical explorations, and oral presentations.
