This course covers academic English: the English you will need for further study. It includes speaking, listening, writing and reading, including listening to lectures, speaking in tutorials, giving presentations, reading academic texts and writing essays and reports. To help you with these skills, there will also be plenty of vocabulary and grammar to help you succeed in your future course.
The course aims to develop:
– General English language skills
– Subject-specific vocabulary across a range of disciplines
– Research and Study Skills to an advanced level, so that the learner can confidently participate in the Australian ‘academic culture’ and successfully negotiate all aspects of research and enquiry-based learning
Assessment Methods:

You will also have a weekly test covering reading, listening or writing. This assessment helps you to see your progress, and also helps the teachers see which areas to give extra attention to. Feedback from assessments is part of learning: your teacher will help you to improve for the next task.
