English for Critical Analysis

अवलोकन

Start building your analysis skills through topics that invite close reading and thoughtful response. You begin with technology, where you examine artificial intelligence and big data as you practice separating facts from opinions, spotting generalizations and overgeneralizations, and supporting your own views with evidence.

You then turn to customs and cultural perception, using texts and video to identify an author's purpose, recognize positive and negative bias, and consider how customs shape meaning. Across vocabulary work, comprehension checks, instructional activities, skill practice, interactions, quizzes, and evaluation tasks, you strengthen the language you need to analyze ideas rather than just react to them.

By the end of the course, you will be able to explain purpose, bias, and factual support more clearly and express your own perspective in English with stronger reasoning.
