English for Environmental Analysis

О курсе

Take the next step in analysis by focusing on how evidence works in environmental topics. In the first half of the course, you explore nature and ecology through scientific reading, learning to identify claims and supporting evidence, ask guiding questions, and analyze how changes such as trophic cascades affect ecosystems. You then shift to sustainability, where you investigate organic farming and related practices while testing the reliability and credibility of sources, separating facts from opinions, and weighing the strengths and weaknesses of competing arguments. Through vocabulary work, readings, comprehension checks, instructional activities, skill practice, interactions, quizzes, and evaluation tasks, you build a more precise way to read and discuss environmental information in English. By the end of the course, you will be able to analyze environmental claims more carefully and form informed, evidence-based opinions.
