Objectives of the Course ENG102 is a compulsory course for first year students. It is aimed at developing mental skills such as reading, listening, writing and speaking. Our students' academic listening skills will develop by listening to important / relevant information in a lecture or a discussion, and their reading skills will develop by reading current academic texts and then using this information to create a learning outcome.
