Academic English students have been exploring the theme of art and museum with topic-oriented vocabulary to cultivate their awareness of different subjects. With the aid of related documentaries alongside reading comprehension, disciplines enhance their English skills through listening and graphical cues, triggering enthusiasm and stimulating insights about the world. Furthermore, by examining IELTS Writing band descriptors, students better understand the criteria for written exams: task response, coherence and cohesion, lexical resources, and grammatical range and accuracy. In addition, through peer editing, pupils collectively learn from each other by strengthening attentiveness to common mistakes and identifying high-standard qualities to incorporate into individual written work.
