Students are provided with the opportunities to deepen and question their understanding of the subject.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">Course assignments (if any) will allow students to actively reflect upon their creative thinking process and demonstrate their own creativity in everyday English. Group exercises provide opportunities for fun, collaboration and mutual stimulation. Each group is required to consolidate their learning through the creation of a creative text archive and present it in class.
