Why am I in the NP- SEEK Program?

  You were selected because of a combination of things:
  • Your GPA (Grade Point Average)
  • Your SEEK exam scores
  • Scheduling availability
What will we do in SEEK?

SEEK 
has THE SAME curriculum as all of M4 English, however, how we do it will be very different.  Here are some examples:
  • You will have a different textbook.  We will be using English File- pre-intermediate.  It also has an online component to help you with pronunciation and vocabulary as well as preparing for exams.  For the online component, click here.
  • You will be making a monthly blog to post on this website.
  • You will have a guest speaker every month.  They will talk about different job opportunities, travel and technology as well as teach various fun skills (such as how to make sushi).
  • You will have 10 computers for your use in our classroom for research, projects and your blogs.

It is going to be a great year!
