Mission and Vision Statement

Objectives:
To support the mission and give concrete ways in which to fulfil the vision, (EDMLS) has drawn up the following objectives:

1-Enabling students to communicate effectively in different situations and settings with native and non-native speakers.

2- Enabling students to communicate effectively in subject matter areas in general.

3- Equipping students with the requisite linguistic skills for pursuing university education in their fields of specialization.

4- Developing students’ critical thinking skills (analytical, synthetic, critical).

5- Developing intercultural understanding and appreciation.

6- Enhancing students’ abilities to work with others.

7- Enhancing students’ self-confidence and independence.

Methodology:
            To make every lesson effective, teachers of EDMLS try to include a variety of teaching and learning methodologies in every lesson in order to reach the above-mentioned objectives. These methods comprise the following:

1. Brainstorming: It is particularly appropriate at the beginning of a lesson to tap the background knowledge students may or may not have about the topic.
