    • Policy Comprehension: Students will be able to read, critically analyze, and summarize complex English-language documents, including international treaties, policy papers, organizational reports (e.g., UN, OECD, World Bank), and academic journals in their field.

    • Documentation: Students will be able to draft clear, concise, and grammatically accurate official documents, reports, and project proposals that adhere to standard professional formats.

    Third: Analytical and Critical Thinking:

    These objectives connect language skills to higher-order professional functions.

    • Information Synthesis: Students will be able to synthesize information from multiple English sources to formulate well-supported arguments and recommendations for administrative action.

  • 1- Introductory Session

    The first course was an onsite session designed to introduce students of Public Administration and Organization to the main components of their English course. During this session, students learned about the topics they will study throughout the semester, including key public administration concepts, leadership vocabulary, and communication skills needed in professional government settings. I explained the course objectives, the types of activities students will complete, and the importance of English for understanding administrative terms, writing reports, and participating in discussions. This introductory meeting helped students understand what to expect, feel prepared for the course, and recognize how English supports their future studies and careers in the public sector.
