Critical Literacy Workshop

(Instructor: Dr. Fong Chin Wei)

Reading and writing skills need to be developed in secondary school in order to most effectively transition to college. However, most academic courses only emphasize theoretical memorization and mechanical examinations, making it difficult for students to truly understand the academic framework that suits them. The framework of this course draws on the knowledge and methods of the “Philosophy, Politics and Economics” (PPE), using well-known teaching materials such as philosophy, international politics, economics, and microbiology, and combined with the “Longman Academic Writing” series to allow students to expand their global perspective, write with ease in international school courses and stand out in university application.

PPE was originally a major favored by many well-known British and American universities and politicians, with the purpose of cultivating talents who can conduct in-depth investigations and closely connect politics, economics, philosophy, and morality.
