Course Concept
In high school and beyond, effective information literacy and communication skills are crucial for success.

These skills are essential for college admissions, academic excellence and personal growth.
CourseLeap’s English Headstart & Accelerating courses are designed to help students develop essential communication skills, including written communication, public speaking, and information literacy. These skills are crucial for academic success, as they enable students to communicate effectively and navigate the vast array of information available to them. The course will also teach them how to write effectively and clearly by understanding grammar, punctuation, and different types of writing styles, in addition to learning how to tailor their writing to different audiences and purposes. It will also teach them to make well thought out, effective presentations while critically engaging in different points of view.

The series of lessons will be ‘scaffolded’, i.e. they will move from basic knowledge to deep understanding, through bite-sized tasks that are both fun and engaging, and suited to a wide range of learner interests. There will be encouragement at every step of the way, culminating in tangible and practical results: a well-informed, thoughtful presentation and a well-written essay promoting the lively interest and careful attention to detail of the learner in his/her subject.
