Practical English - academic communication 4100-5SNJAKA
Practical English classes in the third year are intended to promote greater confidence in the student’s ability to comment on a range of familiar topics.
In-class material is intended to highlight this approach. By the end of the course the student should feel confident in presenting their views (and the views of others) on a particular theme. They should, furthermore, be able to explore links to other topic areas.
Listening tasks should serve the purpose of highlighting the importance of vocabulary and sentence structure when dealing with a range of academic and non-academic situations. They should also expose the student as much as possible to the range of spoken English and should, therefore, be based upon authentic material wherever possible.
Writing tasks should aim to mirror the academic nature of the student’s contact with English in their other studies in the Centre.
Spoken assignments should also be semi-academic/academic in the way they are structures.
In order for the student to feel a sense of development it is critical that they are made aware of the importance of self-study; as a result, 30-40 study hours per semester is not considered unreasonable.
