What learners will discover

  • Identify the thesis of an extended informational text and how its paragraphs and topic sentences develop it.
  • Work out unfamiliar academic vocabulary in unvocalized text from roots, patterns and context, and recognise academic expressions (يُعَدُّ، أَسْهَمَ فِي، أَدَّى إِلَى، عَلَى الرَّغْمِ مِنْ).
  • Make inferences and distinguish established facts from hedged or debated claims (يُرَجِّحُ، يَرَى بَعْضُهُمْ، لَا يَزَالُ مَوْضِعَ نِقَاشٍ).
  • Write an academic summary of an extended text (150–200 words) using paraphrase and attribution.
