Description
Our English Language programmes at the Faculty of Education offer students the opportunity to develop and strengthen their language competencies at different levels.
Our English Language level 1 programme is designed for students who need to develop foundation-level English and build a basic repertoire of words and simple phrases to communicate in everyday situations. The programme focuses on developing competencies in the ability to engage, understand, and process level-appropriate written and spoken text to construct meaning. Students may need direct, explicit teaching of grammar and other language skills to raise language competence.
Our English Language level 2 programme aims to strengthen competencies in the ability to engage, understand, process, and produce intermediate-level written and spoken text to construct meaning. The course is focused on raising student competency in the four language skills, enabling students to use language in both social and academic settings. The second level is designed to enable students to master intermediate language skills.
Our English Language level 3 programme aims to build upon language competencies acquired previously and strengthen competencies in the ability to engage and produce language suitable for the rigor of tertiary education. The programme aims for students to write narratives or informational topics with facts and details, use common transitional words and phrases to connect events, ideas, and opinions, and provide a conclusion. Students will also confidently participate in conversations, discussions, and written exchanges about familiar topics, texts, and issues. Additionally, they will adapt language choices and style according to purpose, task, and audience with ease in various social and academic contexts.
