About Course

Course Title: Grade 7 English
Category: English Literature & Language
Medium Of Instruction: English
Course Level: The course has been designed to meet the Intermediate Level of English (B1) as per CEFR (The Common European Framework of Reference)
Course Highlights:

The G7 English class combines literature, writing, grammar, vocabulary, and literature analysis into one master course. While students need to enjoy reading, and they will have assigned literature time, they will begin doing literature analysis as well to determine the strengths or weaknesses of a story, the skill of the author in presenting the story, and how to apply similar writing styles in their writing.

Grade 7 marks the transition into middle school in some educational systems and high school in others. In any case, it is a departure from elementary school in many ways. As far as English is concerned, the major change is that the explicit teaching of grammar is almost non-existent. Whatever grammar may be taught, will be done inductively, or as revision exercises. The same may be said of vocabulary, though in this case, some idiomatic expressions and phrasal verbs may continue to be taught. Reading passages will completely give way to books, fiction or non-fiction.

Course Descriptions:

As students begin taking over their education in middle school, it can be a bit overwhelming for both parents and students. By tying literature, grammar, and writing into one course, AEEFA makes an often difficult middle school course enjoyable for students.

The syllabus allows time for students to enjoy reading literature by alternating the focus between reading and writing throughout the year. Students will also be able to see a systematic growth in vocabulary, grammar, and writing skills.

Course Content

UNIT 1 | Effects of our Actions on the Environment
"Humans impact the physical environment in many ways: overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation. Changes like these have triggered climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and undrinkable water. These negative impacts can affect human behavior and can prompt mass migrations or battles over clean water."

UNIT 2 | Social Etiquettes and Manners
"Social etiquette is a set of rules, manners, and actions that help people to portray themselves as pleasant, polished, and professional human beings. People who are social etiquette experts know how to behave and look their best in various social situations. Social etiquette shows you how to behave in different social settings, so you don’t have to question your behavior. Learning social etiquette can teach you how to communicate effectively and nicely. Social etiquette can help you to look more professional and make a good impression."

UNIT 3 | Awareness of Crisis, Accidents and Natural Calamities
"Natural disasters can encourage social cohesion and better relationships. When disasters strike, humans have a tendency to get together and show their traits and put them to work. It is during these times that we may work together and realize that all people are the same and have the same basic needs. Friendships may be formed and new things may come to life. The key to reducing loss of life, personal injuries, and damage from natural disasters is widespread public awareness and education. People must be made aware of what natural hazards they are likely to face in their own communities."

UNIT 4 | Awareness of and Empathy with Special People
"Developing social awareness and empathy takes time, effort, intention, and choice. No one is born with the ability to be perfectly informed and sensitive when it comes to the many complex social issues in our world.” Empathy is the ability to understand what another person is going through. It’s the ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes and to feel what they are feeling. It’s about being respectful and standing in solidarity with marginalized groups."

UNIT 5 | Historical & Cultural Places of Pakistan
"Old buildings have intrinsic value." The stories of how places in Pakistan came to be have created historical sites and local culture. People enjoy visiting these places. The cultural and historic heritage defines a place as it captures the local design, festivities, and themes. These characteristics are often displayed in hospitality, signage, public art, and even music. Civic buildings such as libraries, schools, auditoriums, and government offices are public places that can benefit people through healthy design and their communities through shared use. Cultural and historical sites give a place a sense of identity while creating opportunities for community pride and tourism."

UNIT 6 | Media as a Source of Knowledge
"Media plays a significant role in keeping everyone updated about the various events around the world. Today, we can check out the latest news and current affairs with just a few clicks of the mouse or by simply switching on the radio or television, apart from glancing at the newspaper every morning! Media is the plural form for medium and involves the collective communication sources or mediums including television, radio, newspapers, internet, social media sites, and various relevant sites and blogs. The main purpose of media is to disseminate information and knowledge."

UNIT 7 | Learning Organized Approach through Identifying
"Continuous improvement programs are sprouting up all over as organizations strive to better themselves and gain an edge. The topic list is long and varied, and sometimes it seems as though a program a month is needed just to keep up. Solving a problem, introducing a product, and reengineering a process all require seeing the world in a new light and acting accordingly."
