Objectives Fluency in speaking Cambodian is assumed. In speaking and listening, the students engage in debates and giving and commenting on oral reports.

In writing, the students are expected to learn to narrate, to describe, and to present and criticise a point of view, all in formal written Cambodian. Through exercising all four basic linguistic skills and through discussion of Cambodian culture and history, the students should move towards the status of, or full empathy with, a well-educated native Cambodian.
