Preface “Language shapes the way we think, and technology extends our reach. Together, they redefine our interaction with the world.” (Daniel Goleman) This quote highlights how language and technology together transform our world. This textbook is crafted with this vision in mind, aiming to enhance students' English communication skills and enabling them to express themselves on various topics. It combines self-directed learning with group activities to foster both creative and critical thinking.
