Welcome to the 1st year Intermediate English class for students of the International Class. This class is for highly motivated students to level up their English skills. We do all sorts of activities such as individual and group presentations, pair talk, group discussions, and role-plays among other things.

We also do a lot of reading in the class. In addition to reading English articles and short stories, we are currently reading the BFG by Roald Dahl and learning deeply about different themes and topics in English – while working on our own English skills.

This term the students learn and discuss the theme of culture and traditions. We listened to a presentation by exchange students from our partner school – Salesian College Sunbury and learned a lot about Australian culture, while also comparing it to Japan. They have also recently started to learn about poetry and writing their own Haikus in English about a cultural event or tradition.
